For the Queen to reinstate the Reverend Gavin Ashenden as her chaplain.
Chaplain to Her Majesty, Reverend Gavin Ashenden, resigned under pressure from the royal household having spoken out against the reciting of Koranic texts in a service at St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow which offend Christianity - denying the divinity of Christ. The Queen swore to defend the faith.
