Rights Of British Airways Employees

EDM number 2771 in 2005-06, proposed by David TC Davies on 17/10/2006.

That this House regrets the fact that, while British Airways (BA) has allowed employees who are adherents to different faiths to express their beliefs in the form of items of clothing and jewellery, it has denied Christian employees the right to wear crucifixes about their person; and calls on BA to abandon this apparent discrimination towards its Christian workforce and ensure that members of all faiths are treated equally in the future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
