ACT OF SETTLEMENT 1701
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 7 December 2000
That this House believes that the discrimination contained in the Act of Settlement 1701 has no place in modern society; expresses its wish that those discriminatory aspects of the Act be repealed; affirms its view that society must not disbar participation in any aspect of national life on the grounds of religion; and commends the legal action contemplated by the Guardian newspaper in this regard.
