Code Of Practice On Sikh Articles Of Faith

EDM number 558 in 2005-06, proposed by Rob Marris on 12/07/2005.

That this House welcomes the Government's announcement in April 2005 that it will be drawing up a Code of Practice concerning Sikh articles of faith, in recognition of the Sikh's right to religious freedom and the need properly to protect the Sikh identity and articles of faith; urges that this Code of Practice cover all Sikh articles of faith and all Sikhs; and calls upon the Government to consult the All-Party Parliamentary Group for UK Sikhs to learn more of the views of Sikh organisations representing the grassroots opinions and views of Amritdhari (practising) Sikhs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
