ACT OF SETTLEMENT 1701

Early day motion 55, tabled 7 December 2000 by Roseanna Cunningham (Scottish National Party). Signed by 24 members.

That this House believes that the discrimination contained in the Act of Settlement 1701 has no place in modern society; expresses its wish that those discriminatory aspects of the Act be repealed; affirms its view that society must not disbar participation in any aspect of national life on the grounds of religion; and commends the legal action contemplated by the Guardian newspaper in this regard.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Scottish National Party 5, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Labour/Co-operative 1.
