Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Racial and Religious Hatred Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right. That is why we must be so careful with this legislation. New clause 2 at least offers some measure of protection. It is unlikely that anyone would suggest that a comedian’s lampoon—however pointed, barbed or insulting—could constitute an encouragement to violent acts.
