Women Bishops (EDM1364)

Women Bishops

EDM number 1364 in 2010-12, proposed by Frank Field on 27/01/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Religion and faith communities and Sex discrimination.

That this House welcomes the current moves by the General Synod of the Church of England to pass legislation permitting women to be bishops; notes that the Synod is currently engaged in consulting the Dioceses on the Women in the Episcopate: draft bishops and priests (consecration and ordination of women) Measure; further notes that General Synod expects to debate the final approval stage of the Measure in July 2012; encourages the House of Bishops to commend the Measure as currently drafted; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to remove any exemptions pertaining to gender under existing equality legislation, in the event that the Measure has overwhelming support in the dioceses but fails through a technicality to receive final approval in General Synod.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
