The Bishop of Leicester, Tim Stevens, made a speech in the House of Lord's on Ascension Day, in which he called for the renunciation of the use and manufacture of cluster bombs. He said,
For those of us in the Christian tradition, (Ascension Day) is a day in which our Lord’s kingship over all human affairs, relations and conflicts is celebrated. It is a day on which we are reminded that human beings are to behave towards each other as children of the same heavenly Father. It is a day to repent of these weapons, and a day to press on the Government’s representatives as they prepare to go to Lima that we wish them to be in no doubt whatever that, in the view of this House, these weapons are wholly unacceptable.
