In the furore about the Archbishop of Canterbury's remarks about allowing Islamic law to operate in this country, one key issue has been missed.

We have an unwritten constitution that rests on two pillars - Parliamentary Sovereignty and the Rule of Law.

Whatever law Parliament makes is constitutional and applies to us all.

Parliament is made up of three bodies - the Commons, Lords and Monarch.

In the House of Lords sit 26 Church of England bishops with voting rights. The Archbishop is, therefore, part of the law-making process for all of this country.

Yet he advocates a separate legal system for some of our population. He cannot have it both ways.

If he wants two legal systems, he should surely give up his seat in our single law-making body?

In short, he should resign from the Lords and take the 26 Church of England bishops with him, unless they renounce his remarks.
