A Reform government would move to give churches protected status to ensure they are not turned into mosques.
The party’s new home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, plans to “restore Britain’s Christian heritage” by enacting mass deportations of illegal migrants and persuading British expats to return to the country.
He said renewing Britain’s Christian faith was imperative to restoring “cultural meaning” among young people and men in particular. Mr Yusuf, a practicing Muslim, told The Telegraph his first move would be to grant immediate and automatic listed status to churches across the UK.
This means alterations affecting their historic character would be banned. Nigel Farage’s party would also establish a new class for churches that would prevent them from being converted into places of worship for other religions.
Places of worship in England do not currently fall under the F1 use class - changes within this class do not require planning permission.
Mr Yusuf fears churches are increasingly being converted into mosques, and says he has been inundated with emails from “anxious residents” across the UK about the trend.
