Noting your tweet about the government’s political objectives being more important than people, I stumbled upon the UK Parliament website page about daily prayers whilst looking to see when PMQs returns:

Sittings in both Houses begin with prayers. These follow the Christian faith and there is currently no multi-faith element. Attendance is voluntary.
House of Commons
The Speaker’s Chaplain usually reads the prayers. The form of the main prayer is as follows:
“Lord, the God of righteousness and truth, grant to our Queen and her government, to Members of Parliament and all in positions of responsibility, the guidance of your Spirit. May they never lead the nation wrongly through love of power, desire to please, or unworthy ideals but laying aside all private interests and prejudices keep in mind their responsibility to seek to improve the condition of all mankind; so may your kingdom come and your name be hallowed.
Amen.”

Attendance may be voluntary but someone ought to highlight the latter part of the prayer to them as a reminder of their duties to all people, asylum seekers (forced migrants), pupils, Scots and teachers included.
Indeed, and thanks
