Clive Lewis Oath Protest - Take 2

July 16th, 2024

Labour MP for Norwich South Clive Lewis has retaken the oath following complaints concerning his first attempt.

Clive Lewis later defended his protest saying "it was no big deal what I said".

On Tuesday 16th July Mr Lewis appeared back in the House of Commons to swear in again.

Mr Lewis again made a statement prior to swearing in:

I was elected to parliament to represent my constituents and our country to the best of my ability to do defend democracy and uphold human rights. And one day, I hope all members of parliament will be entitled to swear an oath of allegiance based on those values.

Mr Lewis continued:

I do solemnly and sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors according to law.
