Religious Liberty In Public Life

EDM number 2081 in 2010-12, proposed by Gary Streeter on 13/07/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights and Religion and faith communities.

That this House welcomes the decision of the Equality and Human Rights Commission to intervene in supportof four cases involving discrimination against Christians that are presently with the European Court of Human Rights; notes that this is a long overdue recognition of the need to defend religious liberty and marks an important development in relation to a better understanding of the role of faith in public life; and further welcomes the Commission's advocacy for reasonable accommodation in the workplace as an acknowledgement of the place of conscientious objection for those with religious belief.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
