Clergy Discipline (Amendment) Measure

Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 March 2013. It occurred during Debate on Clergy Discipline (Amendment) Measure.

I am very grateful to the right reverend Prelate for giving way, but my point was slightly different. My point is that the Measure concentrates on membership and direct support for a party. I suggest that there might be circumstances in which the clergy person concerned was neither a member nor, hopefully, a supporter, but that things they were saying about a particular policy could be interpreted as support for the party. I just say that that is an area of ambiguity which I think will need a great deal of care in future—firm care, if that is not a contradiction in terms.
