Original motion text

That this House disagrees with the statement made by the Archbishop of Canterbury that 'the severing of links between church and state would lead to the collapse of civilised society' and that 'honesty, faithfulness, respect and love of neighbour would all be threatened if England abandoned its historic spiritual framework'; and notes that the church has been disestablished in Wales for the most part of a century with no evidence of a collapse in the state or an increase in dishonesty, faithlessness, disrespect or hatred of neighbours when compared with England.
