MPs Oath of Loyalty to United Nations
Dear House of Commons,
Please can you disclose whether any Members of Parliament have at any time while in office taken an Oath of Loyalty to the United Nations and if so:
1. The identities of these members of Parliament
2. Whether such oath to the U.N. remains in effect
If such oath is currently in effect in respect of any serving MP please disclose what has been done to ensure that no conflict of interest will arise with their oath to serve Her Majesty the Queen (and which of these two oaths takes precedence) and to ensure that their activities relating to the U.N. do not constitute Treason against the United Kingdom.
Yours faithfully,
Mr McGillivray
