Baroness Cox.

'Baroness Cox introduced a new Bill in the House of Lords this week which is intended to outlaw the use of sharia law where it conflicts with English law. The Bill has arisen over concerns about the discrimination suffered by Muslim women under the sharia system. The Bill proposes to protect women by stopping discriminatory rulings that are contrary to UK law and ensuring that sharia law does not appear to have jurisdiction where it does not.

The Bill is being supported by the “Equal and Free” Campaign, backed by Christian Concern and many other groups.'
