Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has said churches across the country should be fitted with wi-fi to strengthen their position in the community.
Lloyd Webber, who sits as a Conservative member in the House of Lords, indicated that discussions over installing internet for the general public at churches have already taken place with the government.
He told the Mail on Sunday magazine Event: “I want to get every church in the country on wi-fi. Once you do that, the church becomes the centre of the community again.
“They should go back to the medieval traditions, which is that the nave of the church is always used for local businesses.”
