The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make an estimate of the number of sharia councils operating in England and Wales.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Sharia Councils are not part of the judicial system; therefore the Ministry of Justice does not hold data on the number of sharia councils in operation, and there is no plan to produce such data at this time.
