Sir Edward Leigh, MP for Gainsborough, said family breakdown had become a “modern plague”.
He blamed a “conspiracy of silence” perpetrated by the Church, the BBC, Parliament and the Press that discouraged people from speaking up for marriage. It has left hundreds of thousands of children “living a tragic life,” he said.
“In our permissive society a view has grown up that people are happiest if they are totally liberated. It is about ”˜me’,” he said. “We are told Britain has changed and we have to accept it but don’t we have a responsibility to speak out for what’s right?”
