MPs’ prayers set for Burt support
NORTH East Beds MP Alistair Burt has vowed to back the practice of holding prayers in Parliament, in light of a recent court ruling that they were not legal when held by a local council in Devon.
Mr Burt said: I would regret any move to end prayers in Parliament. I think it unlikely, and would vote against any such move.
“All of us are offended by something or other on occasions. But the growing intolerance towards public faith is a worrying and unnecessary trend, and not compatible with a balanced society.”
