I call for Happy Easter from a few people in Parliament


On Tuesday at the end of the Parliament there was a session of the RNLI Bicentenary and one of the people who contributed was Chris Stephens who is the SNP MP for Glasgow South West and when he began to speak about the RNLI item he stated “It is always good to have some of these debates before recess. I wish all hon. Members, Clerks and everyone else a very good Easter when it comes.” so a few comments after Chris there was a statement from Bill Esterson who is the Labour MP from Sefton Central and he begins with “a happy Easter to everybody” and both of them can be seen here. A previous day on Monday in House of Lords in the session for Christians: Persecution which can be obtained from here when Arlene Foster from Northern Ireland DUP stated “As we come to celebrate Easter in the Christian calendar and all the events that took place in Jerusalem in that Holy Week” and then David Alton from Liberal Democrat stated “The noble Baroness reminded us that this is a great week for Christianity, with Easter” and Maeve Sherlock who is Labour who stated “I should declare as an interest that I am an ordained minister in the established Church of England. When I go freely to church on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection, it will be an occasion of great joy”
