Race Relations Act 1976 (EDM530)

Race Relations Act 1976

EDM number 530 in 2007-08, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 10/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Ethnic groups, Racial discrimination, Religion and faith communities and Schools.

That this House takes serious note of the continued refusal of the Governing Body of Aberdare Girls' School to permit a 14 year-old Sikh girl from wearing to school her Kara, a small Sikh bangle that is an article of her faith; is concerned to learn the punishment for the girl for her insistence on wearing her modest Kara was at first keeping her in isolation for nine weeks and then on 5th November, excluding her from school; and calls upon the UK Government to work with the Welsh Assembly and to do everything within its power to ensure the girl is immediately reinstated as her treatment clearly amounts to discrimination and contravenes the Race Relations Act 1976.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
