to any change; 70% stressed the importance of retaining the law
on blasphemy; a smaller proportion of the total (32%) also stated
opposition to the introduction of an offence of incitement to

to be part of a write-in campaign organised by "Christian
Voice" (whose evidence has been published).
The Report of the Committee is published in Volume I
