Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (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

The point that I raised in debate, which the Minister has not replied to, is that it is no use relying on the Human Rights Act because Article 10 and its balancing are unclear. You need a free speech guarantee in the Bill.
