	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2014 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Education has had many representations on the question of same sex marriage and relationships, but none relate to the teaching of British values because that is a different matter. All schools have an important part to play in preparing their pupils for life in modern Britain by promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. In addition, all schools are already required to abide by the Equality Act 2010 and promote principles which encourage respect for other people, with particular regard to protected characteristics. It is right to respect other people, even if you do not agree with their way of life. This is a fundamental part of preparation for life in modern Britain, and a principle with which all schools should agree.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 21/11/2014 12:38:22 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
