Employment Rights And Ministers Of Religion (EDM1832)

Employment Rights And Ministers Of Religion

EDM number 1832 in 2001-02, proposed by Chris Bryant on 29/10/2002.

That this House notes that clergy of all denominations and religions are treated as office-holders rather than employees in UK law; further notes that by virtue of being ministers of religion clergy are consequently denied basis employment rights and have no redress against sex, disability or racial discrimination at work; believes that it is important to rectify this anomaly as a matter of urgency so that all workers can have full recourse to employment law and protection from unfair dismissal; and calls on the Government to amend all relevant employment legislation so as to address these inequalities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs.
