Watch Bishop John's introduction to the House of Lords
(26/06/2012)
On Monday 25 June 2012 Bishop John Inge, the Bishop of Worcester, was inducted to the House of Lords. Watch the video here.
The footage is taken from the Parliament TV archive. You'll see Bishop John enter the House of Lords after a few minutes (at 14:34:35).
Bishop John is then formally welcomed, before he takes hold of the Bible and himself declares:
"I, John, Lord Bishop of Worcester, do swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God."
