Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

This is in another amendment, so I mention it only in passing, but it is important that the Bishops represent a warm house in our constitution for other faiths and denominations. They are not sectarian. Actually, this is a modernisation; they were not like this 100 years ago, but they are like that now, as is widely recognised by Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Roman Catholics, of whom I am one.
