Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will take steps to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the passage into law of the Five Mile Act 1665.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2015
My Department has no plans to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the passage into law of the Nonconformists Act 1665.
The Nonconformist Act was rightly repealed in 1689.
Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, democracy, the rule of law, and equal rights define us as a society. The Government is determined to promote these values actively, working in partnership and alongside all communities.
