Theresa May has criticised the National Trust after the word “Easter” was dropped from its annual egg hunt, calling the decision “absolutely ridiculous”.
Speaking during a trade visit to Saudi Arabia, May, an Anglican, said Easter was “very important” to her.
“I’m not just a vicar’s daughter – I’m a member of the National Trust as well. I think the stance they’ve taken is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t know what they’re thinking about,” she told ITV News.
The National Trust said it was “in no way downplaying the significance of Easter” and that Cadbury was responsible for the branding of its campaign.
