TREATMENT OF CHRISTIANS BY BRITISH AIRWAYS (No. 2)

Early day motion 250, tabled 22 November 2006 by Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 59 members.

That this House notes that British Airways has an enlightened policy of allowing departures from its dress code for employees who believe their religious faith requires it; notes that this policy does not appear to include Christians who wish to wear and display a cross; deplores in particular its treatment of Twickenham resident Nadia Eweida, who seeks the right to wear a cross at work; and believes that the company's intransigence will damage its reputation and lose many regular customers, including hon. Members.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 16, Conservative 14, DUP 6, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
