Motion Text

That this House expresses concern over growing restrictions on free speech across Europe; notes the case of Dr Päivi Räsänen in Finland, where legal action has followed her expression of traditional views on marriage; and urges the Government to engage internationally to uphold freedom of expression and defend the right to articulate religious and conscientious beliefs.
