Second Reading Speech

My Lords,

For seven years now, it has been the law of the land that it is illegal for muslims and jewish people in this country to produce food in their religiously inspired ways. This is, in my view, unacceptable in a modern, progressive society such as that of Britain today. Millions of Britons have been told that their religion is less than that of others. This bill, if it passes, will reverse that.

This division shall end on the 11th August at 10pm BST.
