Philip Davies MP.
SHIPLEY MP Philip Davies has been re-elected to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on ‘Honour’-based Abuse.
The group of MPs will work to raise awareness of these crimes, and aim to expose and eradicate the crimes in the UK.
Mr Davies, who was re-elected as co-vice-chair, said: “There is nothing honourable about these crimes and we need to do everything we can to protect people from them.
“People living in this country should be protected by British law and not be subject to alternative Sharia councils.
“No-one should be forced to do anything they do not want to in the name of family, community or religion.”
The group wants the Commons Liaison Committee to hold an inquiry into religious gender-based discrimination.
