The Lord Bishop of Manchester

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

Before the noble Baroness sits down, could I tease out from her a few words about the religious literacy point that myself and the noble Baroness, Lady Berridge, raised earlier? While we have rightly focused much on race and ethnicity this evening, which is important, I find that sometimes people take a pride in being religiously illiterate and in not paying attention to somebody’s faith in a way that they would probably not take a pride, as a professional, in not attending to somebody’s ethnic background. Does the Minister have a little word to say about that?
