Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Family Justice.
Family Justice
I have had absolutely no discussions with representatives of Muslim communities about the proposals. Members of the Muslim faith are subject to the law of the land like any other groups, and they are the first to accept that. In so far as the decisions of so-called sharia councils are accepted and enforced in the English courts, that is done according to provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996, which was passed by the previous Administration.
