Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Racial and Religious Hatred Bill
Has my right hon. Friend noticed that whenever we adduce a specific example of what might be called hatred, the Home Secretary says, ““Oh no, this law will not cover that.””? He has not given us a single example. I am beginning to think that this is not a dangerous Bill, but mere posturing, because ample legislation already exists to deal with the issues. If that is not the case, will the Home Secretary give a single example of an offence that would not be caught by existing legislation?
