summary

Presenting an alternative version of the long-standing Parliamentary oath that would omit the phrase "upon the true Faith of a Christian," It was the passage of this Act of Parliament that finally enabled Lord Lionel Rothschild to take his seat in the House, the first Jew so privileged. See T.M. Endelman, The Jews of Britain (2000) p. 107.
