Gummer condemns 'potty' Jehovah's Witnesses
Former Tory Cabinet minister John Gummer has triggered a row with his own front bench after launching a sharp attack on Jehovah's Witnesses .
Mr Gummer first branded members of the fundamentalist Christian sect 'heretical and potty'.
He then went on to add that the sect's doctrines were 'wrong' and based on the teachings of a 'crook'.
Mr Gummer, a former member of the Church of England General Synod, said: "Jehovah Witnesses uphold something which is probably fraudulent and wrong.
"It is perfectly right to be tolerant but not to be ignorant and Jehovah's Witnesses are based on doctrines propounded by a crook and a fraud, who was arrested and found guilty in a court."
Tory home affairs spokesman John Bercow then told a House of Commons debate on scrapping a 200-year-old religious law: "I am neither a Jehovah's Witness nor a member of the Plymouth Brethren but many of my constituents are members of one or the other and I have the highest respect for both."
The two Tories were then involved in a vigorous off-microphone exchange across the benches while the debate continued.
The debate on the House of Commons (Removal of Clergy Disqualification) Bill proposes to scrap a law preventing some serving and former ministers of religion from becoming MPs.
