Lord Pearson of Rannoch Excerpts

Wednesday 25th November 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I, and the Government, believe in the freedom of expression, and the freedom actually to not believe at all, as well as to believe in a variety of different religions.

[Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UKIP)]

My Lords, does the Minister think that Digital Cinema Media, or any other media outlet in this country, would have dared to ban footage advancing the religion of Islam?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

I think that is a very good question. As I have said before, the freedom of religious expression should be apparent throughout society, and we should not be offended by religion.
