Business question from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Will the Leader of the House find time for a debate on the treatment of Nadia Eweida and British Airways’ decision to ban its staff from wearing crosses while allowing other staff to wear other faith symbols such as turbans or hijabs? He will be aware that many of our constituents are very angry about that decision, that religious leaders such as the Archbishop of York have condemned the company for its decision, and that more than 100 MPs have signed parliamentary motions asking BA to reconsider.
