  Gender Recognition Bill [Lords] &#8212; Religion
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The amendment under discussion would create protection for religious organisations against the effects of the bill (in a similar way that sporting events were granted protection).  The amendment read as follows.</p>
  
  <p><i>If a courtâs determination of any question arising under this Act might affect the exercise by a religious organisation (itself or its members collectively) of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, it must have particular regard to the importance of that right.</i></p>
  
  <p><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 104, Noes 276.</p>
