DECLARATION OF BERLIN

Ask your MP to sign this Early Day Motion:-

EDM 1155

DECLARATION OF BERLIN

19.03.2007

Vaz, Keith

That this House believes that the public of the UK and Europe should have a right to be informed of the progress in the drafting of the Declaration of Berlin; notes that the intention of the German European Presidency to construct a declaration of European values, ambitions and achievements in a short and easy to understand text is a worthy one; fears that writing the declaration in secrecy goes against the key European values of transparency and openness; and calls on the Government to engage in a full consultation with the British public on the text once it is released.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR HUMANISTS

EDM 723

MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR HUMANISTS

24.01.2007

Burt, Lorely

That this House notes that whereas most religious people may marry in a legal ceremony that reflects their beliefs, humanists and members of some religious groups such as Baha'is are currently not able to marry in such a ceremony and instead can opt only for a civil ceremony; further notes that reform has already taken place in Scotland to redress this problem; believes that all religion or belief groups should be able to conduct state recognised marriage ceremonies for their members; and calls on the Government to reform the law on marrige so as to remove the inequalities suffered at present by humanists and other belief groups.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE

29.11.2006

Hoyle, Lindsay

That this House notes that the month of November marks the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the 1981 UN Declaration on the Elimination of Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief; recognises that the anniversary is particularly timely with the rising tide of intolerance in many countries; further notes the intolerance of Christianity in China, India and Pakistan; notes in particular the intolerance practised in China whereby bishops and journalists are being arrested; and calls on the Government to work through the UN in order to implement the principles of the Declaration which forbids discrimination on the basis of religion and belief, and reminds states of their duty not only to prohibit such discrimination but to take effective measures to prevent and eliminate it.

TEACHING OF CREATIONISM IN SCHOOLS - Early Day Motion

WASP suggest you write to your MP to sign this Early Day Motion

EDM 301

TEACHING OF CREATIONISM IN SCHOOLS

27.11.2006

Stringer, Graham

That this House welcomes the Government's statement that `Neither intelligent design nor creationism are recognised scientific theories and are not included in the science curriculum'; is very concerned by the claim that the teaching pack circulated to schools by the creationist group Truth in Science is being used in science lessons in 59 schools; and calls on the Government to investigate how widespread the use of this pack is with a view to restricting it to use in religious education lessons.
