Parliamentary inquiry urged to tackle 'rife' workplace discrimination against Christians

A British parliamentary inquiry is being asked to investigate concerns that Christians are being frequently mistreated in the workplace.

The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights is being asked by the Catholic Union, the Christian Institute and the Evangelical Alliance to investigate claims that discrimination against Christians and other religious groups in the workplace is rife.

The groups have asked Labour MP Harriet Harman, the chair of the committee, to ensure that religious freedom forms a “key part” of the ongoing inquiry into human rights in the UK.
