Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (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
The hon. Gentleman has, I think, misunderstood the law. The Bill says that incitement to racial hatred would be made unlawful, and defines that by reference to cultural groups, race and so forth. What case law did was to identify that, by definition, Jews, when subjected to incitement to racial hatred—not doctrinal or theological criticism—were covered. That is not something that they have gained; they were always covered, and case law has demonstrated it.
