David Cameron labels Christian Union ban ‘ludicrous’
by Marcus Jones, Premier:
Prime Minister David Cameron says the idea that a college Christian Union could be stopped from meeting under the government’s counter-extremism strategy is “ludicrous”.
Responding to a question from Christian Conservative MP Fiona Bruce during Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Cameron said people needed to “exercise some common sense in making these judgements”.
The Member for Congleton raised the issue just days after reports suggested an unnamed college Christian union had been stopped from meeting because of concerns that the group may be breaching Prevent guidelines.
The legislation was put together to stop children being influenced by extremists.
