Petition Face Coverings (Prohibition) Bill (HC Bill 31)
More details
This petition is to prohibit the Face Coverings Bill from becoming an Act of law.
The bill in it's current form restricts women of religious belief from practising out their freedom of expression.
A clear parliamentary debate and discussion is needed on the subject.
This should include engagement and input from all the religious communities affected.
If the bill is to proceed to becoming an act of law without the afore mentioned input and amendments, then this is in clear breach of a persons right to expression and may also be contravening certain European Human rights laws.
