SHEIKH DR MOHAMMAD ISMAIL APPOINTED DEPUTY LORD LIEUTENANT

We are very pleased that a member of our Independent Ethics Panel, Sheikh Dr Mohammad Ismail, has been made Deputy Lord Lieutenant for South Yorkshire.

This is a signal honour for Mohammad and a recognition of all the work he has done over the years not just for the Muslim community, but for community cohesion and interfaith understanding in the wider community of South Yorkshire.

Dr Ismail is an imam and scholar who works as chaplain to the University of Sheffield.
