Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
In this country, we are very proud of our commitment to free speech but we are also proud of our commitment to a diverse community and to being anti-racist. The fact remains that the British National party is a racist and divisive party. Its constitution prohibits from membership anyone who is not indigenously Caucasian. That is an apartheid constitution and has no place in British politics. The BBC has made its decision about "Question Time" and no doubt it will reflect on it once it sees the outcome tonight.
