The motion

Leave out from 'the' to end and add 'Church of England should remain as the established Church of this country, with the Queen as its Head, and that disestablishment would be immensely complicated and expensive and would damage our Christian heritage, and that furthermore the state has been concerned with the appointment of Lords Spiritual at least since the time of William the Conqueror and this well-established practice should continue.'.
