The chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee has said "the government should make a statement" regarding the EU workplace headscarf ban. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that workplace bans on the wearing of "any political, philosophical or religious sign" such as headscarves need not constitute direct discrimination. Maria Miller told Martha Kearney "what a woman wears is her choice...it should never be the choice of a court". (Photo: A woman in the workplace wearing a headscarf. Credit: Getty Images).
