The official site of the Prime Minister’s Office

Petition update, 28 November 2008

More details from petition creator

We demand that the Prime Minister, in conjunction with the Secretary of State for Trade & Industry, use powers granted to them in section 32 of the Companies Act to insist that the 'Church' of Scientology (England & Wales) be made to rename themselves to a more suitable trading name that will not mislead or harm the public as to the nature of the companies main business.

The Oxford English Dictionary states that a 'church' is "an official Christian religious organization". Since Scientology is not a Christian nor, more importantly, recognised as a religion in The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, it should not be allowed to mislead people by referring to itself as a "church".
