University Tests Move to Alter Oxford Cambridge and Durham Laws
Mr. Grapstone moves that the House resolve into committee to permit a bill altering religious tests at Oxford Cambridge and Durham and in associated halls and colleges. He urges a brief debate and cites government duties to present the measure to the Lords for fair discussion. The bill mirrors last year with no broader repeal of college restrictions. The House notes supportive views and prepares to read the bill a first time, with several related measures also receiving first readings.
