‘Churches should be fitted with wifi’

Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber said churches across the UK should be fitted with wifi in a bid to make them a more integral part of the community.

The musical theatre writer, who has recently revived his hit West End show Cats, also gushed about the star of the show, singer and former X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger, in a magazine interview.

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 wifi.

“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.”
