Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 29 June (HL1380), whether they will answer the question put, namely whether they will legislate to ensure that a Prime Minister of any faith can discharge all of his or her duties.

The Government recognises that there are historical restrictions on duties in statute, particularly in relation to the making of and advising on Church appointments. We will keep this under review.
