Christian Concerns About The Sexual Orientation Regulations

EDM number 346 in 2006-07, proposed by Jeffrey Donaldson on 29/11/2006.

That this House recognises the genuine concerns expressed by Christian churches and other religious organisations about certain aspects of the proposed Sexual Orientation Regulations; notes that the Government has delayed the implementation of the Regulations in Great Britain until April 2007; regrets the decision of the Northern Ireland Office to proceed with the introduction of the Regulations in Northern Ireland from 1st January 2007; and calls on the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to withdraw the Regulations to allow a similar time for further consulation as in the rest of the United Kingdom.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
