Faith Based Adoption Agencies

EDM number 742 in 2006-07, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 25/01/2007.

That this House recognises the unique contribution made by faith based adoption agencies in placing children in caring families and that many such agencies provide support for life for the child and family; believes that the Equality Act 2006, if applied to them, would jeopardise their funding and therefore their work; and calls on the Government to exclude them from this Act.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
