From The Church Times-CHRISTIAN MPs in the Labour Party have given qualified support of the Prime Minister after he called for people to be "more confident about our status as a Christian country" (Comment, 17 April).
On Tuesday, the Shadow Employment Minister, Stephen Timms, said: "The Prime Minister's comments are clearly correct. It is remarkable that some people take exception to them."
He added, however: "I am also interested in why he made them. The Prime Minister recognises the electoral importance - much greater than a simplistic reading of church attendance figures would suggest - of people with a strong faith commitment. A large group of these voters invariably voted Conservative. They no longer trust the Tory Party, and David Cameron is trying to repair the damage."
