Andrew Bowie

Conservative — West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 March 2025

Debate

Church of Scotland (Lord High Commissioner) Bill

Contribution

I, too, will not detain the Committee for long, having already expressed the full support of His Majesty’s official Opposition for the Bill, and it will come as no surprise that we are not proposing any amendments in Committee. I do, however, have two questions for the Minister. When does he expect the Bill to go to the House of Lords, and can he assure the Committee and, indeed, the Church of Scotland that everything possible will be done to secure its swift passage to Royal Assent so that it is passed in time for the upcoming General Assembly of the Church of Scotland?
