Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.


Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

My Lords, the noble and learned Lord will be aware that there is some confusion on this point. The Government have announced a series of proposals to deal with the so-called preachers of hate and I hope that we shall get some detail about that. That was in response to a media campaign. Is it not ironic that today we are dealing with legislation that would plainly turn such a campaign into a potential criminal offence?
