Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

It really will assist the due process of House procedure if we do not have ““dualogues”” during the debate. My noble friend chose his own words for his speech at the beginning of the debate. That allows one to say things first, but, unfortunately, it allows others to speak afterwards. I am not the Chief Whip; I am not seeking to curtail debate; I am not seeking to influence the content of debate. But noble Lords should be aware there is body language from other parts of the House that is expressing some concern.
