Reverse the discriminatory electronics ban on flights from the Middle East
The Department of Transport introduced discriminatory "security" measures on flight from 6 ME countries: banning in-cabin electronic devices.
After similar measures by the USA towards Muslim majority countries, it is in conflict with British values of tolerance.
The measure must be reversed.
