Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) 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

There is no single answer to that question. There are certainly clear areas where it is in public policy interest that we should prevent hatred and racial hatred is now accepted as being one of the most important areas.Our view is that we do not think that the creation of the new offence of religious hatred is within the ambit of public policy or what is desirable under it.
