Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) 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

For the record, what I actually said was that intent was present in both offences. It is in Section 19(5), of the Public Order Act 1986, for example, and all the other sections have an equivalent provision. Therefore, we were treating intent as a necessary ingredient in incitement to racial and to religious hatred.
