It needs to be led by people who believe and should be attended by those who believe.". The Duchess of York is described as "a vulgarian. vulgar, vulgar vulgar", by the Queen's former private secretary in an interview published today which makes it clear that the Royal Family believes it will survive by distancing itself from i ts unsuitable newcomers. Lord Charteris, 81, who claims that he thought the remarks had been made off the record, predicts that the Prince and Princess of Wales will divorce. "Divorce will clear the air And, yes, of course he will be King. If teachers are not prepared to fulfil the law they should find someone else who can."The Department for Education said it had no plans to change the existing laws. Church of England officials think that Mr Patten's guidelines on school religious worship are too strict.Dr Habgood, who was once vetoed by Baroness Thatcher for the job of Bishop of London, belongs to the church's liberal wing.David Blunkett, Labour's education spokesman, reserved Labour's position on school worship but said that he thought it was important for assemblies to take multi-cultural issues into account.Don Foster, Liberal Democrat education spokesman, said: "I personally believe there is no justification for requiring schools to have a daily act of worship.

Those schools which don't want to hold worship on five days will scarcely be persuaded to hold it on one.''Lady Olga Maitland, Conservative MP for Sutton and Cheam, said: "In the year of Evangelism I am absolutely astounded that Dr Habgood should be saying this."Sir Rhodes Boyson, MP, a former Conservative education minister, said: "Morning assembly well taken is not only a religious exercise but gives discipline to the day. "It is naive to assume that reducing the number of days on which worship is required will lead to an overall increase in school worship It will lead to its near elimination. "Our own policy for some time has been that schools should not be required to undertake more than one act of collective worship a week." The change would make worship more meaningful and closer to the realities of life, he added.Colin Hart, director of the Evangelical Christian Institute, said he was very disappointed in the Archbishop's remarks. Keeping religion out of schools was a great mistake.Children should occasionally experience a full act of religious worship so they could get a sense of what religion was about.Dr Habgood would not say what should replace the present arrangements and refused to be pinned down on whether daily worship in schools should be abolished.David Hart, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said schools were having increasing difficulty in delivering a daily act of worship. Last year John Patten, former secretary of state for education, issued guidelines as part of a campaign to insist on more Christian worship in schools.Dr Habgood said outside the conference, attended by teachers, academics and education administrators: "It is absolutely clear that schools do not create Christians and should not be expected to."Church schools have a rather different role and one would expect worship to be carried out with greater conviction.''Schools had a duty to introduce all pupils to the language and experiences which would allow them to make sense of religion.

The Government should have another look at it in proper consultation with teachers.'' He acknowledged complaints from Christian groups that poor school worship had an anti-religious effect. He also understood why teachers who are not believers felt hypocritical about conducting religious assemblies. "It would probably be an advantage to have less worship but of better quality," he said.Under the 1944 Education Act, schools have to hold a daily act of worship, but a survey showed more than eight out of 10 schools were breaking the law. Dr Habgood, the second most senior figure in the Church of England, said at the North of England Education Conference in York: "The system is not working as it is. The Archbishop of York, Dr John Habgood, yesterday called for a review of the legislation requiring daily religious assemblies in schools.

this party calls for both a socially responsible, properly regulated private sector and for public ownership where it is justified on grounds of efficiency and equity.. And some activists in the New Clause IV campaign are already arguing for an even more revisionist formula under which public ownership would only be sanctioned "where necessary."The campaign by Blair supporters coincides with the circulation of an official document from Labour Party headquarters on a new Clause IV which contains a lengthy questionnaire inviting local parties to comment on their ideas about Labour's objects and values, along with suggestions on themes like opportunity, equality, democracy and the economy..THE OLD CLAUSE IV To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service.THE NEW CLAUSE IV?This party supports the existence of strong, well-resourced public services run in the public interest as vital foundations for both a socially just society and a dynamic successful economy. In the amended Clause IV resolution to be drawn up, this party calls for both a socially responsible, properly regulated private sector and for public ownership where it is justified on grounds of efficiency and equity." The unequivocally pro-EU line is also underlined by a proposal that the new clause should include a "modern statement of international solidarity based on Britain's position as a key member of the European Union."The document from the group, co-ordinated by the MPs, Kevin Barron, Helen Liddell, and Greg Pope, marks the opening of more than three months of intensive campaigning to secure a modern definition of Labour's aims and values at the special party conference on a new Clause IV on April 29.The campaign will eschew media glitz in favour of an old fashioned grassroots operation of lobbying activists by letter and telephone in the run-up to the special conference - a technique normally associated with the left wing of the party.Although narrowly drawn, the wording of the suggestions in the New Clause IV campaign document may come as a relief to some of the more mainstream traditionalists in the party in that it does not fulfil their worst fears that all references to public ownership would be deleted.But it will certainly not quell opposition of those on the hard left campaigning for retention of the 77-year-old constitution's commitment to "common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange". The pivotal phrase provides the clearest indication yet of leadership thinking on the most controversial problem in the struggle to agree on Clause IV - how to pitch any reference to Labour's traditional commitment to public ownership. A newsletter sent to all constituency Labour parties by the New Clause IV Campaign, an organisation headed by senior MPs, Peers and party officials in tune with the leadership, says the new constitution should include "crucial democratic socialist valueslike social justice, freedom, opportunity, equality, democracy and solidarity".The most sensitive passage in a section furnishing ideas for grass roots resolutions and amendments of the party constitution "supports the existence of strong, well resourced public services run in the public interest as vital foundations for both a socially just society... A Labour government should limit public ownership to cases justified "on grounds of efficiency and equity" according to proposals drawn up by the pro-Blair campaign for a new Clause IV in the party's constitution. But it will ensure the company's survival in the medium and long term.. It is an expensive exercise, and the payback will not come immediately, says MrRathborn.
