Maiden speech from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) 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, following the genuinely warm welcome from the Lord Chancellor and the former Lord Chancellor, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, I am tempted to dwell at some length on the success of Heart of Midlothian Football Club. It is still unbeaten and now tops the Scottish Premier League for the first time for years—and under my chairmanship. I feel particularly at home on these Benches here today because we play in maroon. Indeed, when the noble and right reverend Lord, Lord Carey, entered the Chamber, I thought he had added to the welcome by wearing the Hearts strip for the occasion.
