Prayers At Councils
EDM number 637 in 2013-14, proposed by Jim Shannon on 29/10/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Local government and Religion and faith communities.
That this House notes the ever decreasing number of Councils who pray and read from the bible at the onset of meetings; congratulates those Councils such as those in Northern Ireland who continue to respect the tradition and necessary act of seeking God's face before making decisions; and asks the Government to send out information to all councils to underline the fact that councils can pray under the Localism Act if they choose to do so.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
