Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the operation of Sharia courts on the legal system.

I refer the honourable Member to the answer I gave on 18 December to Question 18879: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2024-12-10/18879.

Sharia Councils are not part of the judicial system.
