An MP has teamed up with Trading Standards to tackle scammers who take advantage of Muslim pilgrims.

Bradford East MP David Ward has met with West Yorkshire Trading Standards to raise concerns brought to him by constituents about Hajj agents deceiving people who want to make the annual pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

The service has produced a leaflet warning pilgrims about rogue travel agents.

Mr Ward said many people are cheated during Hajj.
