Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (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
I simply have to say to the hon. Gentleman that if calling somebody superstitious could be taken as being insulting—some people would be insulted by it—it would be caught by the way in which the Bill is drafted. The only safeguard for getting out of that dilemma is the discretion that is given to the Attorney-General. That is what the hon. Gentleman and the Government seem completely to fail to grasp.
