Joe O'Toole (Independent)

It is the role of this House to ensure children are protected from abuse and other threats. Whether bishops resign is not our business, nor do I care, but it is our business to recognise that bishops are patrons and managers of schools and making rules for them. They are doing so without any form of vetting or clearance. They can sack teachers if they believe their lifestyle is in conflict with the ethos of a school.
