An MP is attempting to ban authorities from describing murders as “honour killings”.
Conservative Nusrat Ghani said the term was used by abusers as a “pathetic self-justification” for their violence.
She proposed a bill in the House of Commons that would ban the use of the description in official publications.
The move would make it clear that “cultural and religious sensitivities are not a barrier to justice”, the MP for Wealden in East Sussex said.
