Schedule 1 - Citizenship ceremony, oath and pledge
Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill
8:45 pm
Mr Simon Hughes (North Southwark and Bermondsey, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful for that insight into the working practices of the clergy. The point is made. The Minister made a perfectly reasonable case. She was sensitive to the point about having flexibility around the edges where a public ceremony might be inappropriate. Brown envelopes are certainly a less desirable option. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
