MISUSE OF ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAWS

Early day motion 237, tabled 8 July 2014 by David Davies (Conservative). Signed by 13 members.

That this House notes the impending prosecution by the Equality Commission (EC) of the managers of a bakery for declining to bake a cake with a gay rights slogan; opposed to discrimination, regrets the fact that the law is being used in such a draconian fashion to target people with Christian beliefs; deplores the use of taxpayers' money to further the agenda of the activists; and calls on the Minister for Equality to issue guidance to the EC to prevent this prosecution from being carried forward.

Signatures by party: Conservative 6, DUP 6, Independent 1.
