Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Racial and Religious Hatred Bill
I accept the noble Baroness’s point. I said in my preliminary remarks that there is a difference. However, my key point is that legislation has generated vexatious actions. Such legislation will be inciteful: it will generate from different groups complaints against other groups. It will create sectarianism where perhaps none existed hitherto. That is the real danger of this kind of legislation.
