ANN CLWYD MP TABLES MOTION IN UK PARLIAMENT

The Sikh Federation (UK) has been exerting pressure for an Early Day Motion to be tabled in the House of Commons. The Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for UK Sikhs, Rob Marris MP and one of the Vice Chairs, John Spellar MP recently with Rt. Hon Ann Clywd MP.

This has resulted in her agreeing to issue a Press Release and put down Early Day Motion 530 in Parliament on Monday 10 December.

The EDM is produced below and Sikhs are asked to get their local MPs to support the motion and/or write to the UK Government and Welsh Assembly.

EDM 530 - RACE RELATIONS ACT 1976

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.
