SCHOOLS' RELIGIOUS ADMISSION RULES

Early day motion 1379, tabled 18 April 2016 by Barry Sheerman (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 5 members.

That this House acknowledges that mutual trust and understanding between people of different backgrounds grows when they are schooled together, which also benefits social cohesion in society at large; and therefore urges that the current policy where new faith free schools in England cannot select more than half their pupils on faith grounds is extended to all types of state-funded faith schools.

Signatures by party: Conservative 2, Green 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
