Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Racial and Religious Hatred Bill
My Lords, is it not wonderful to hear a Government who pay attention to what is said in a debate, take account of it and act accordingly? I find that exceptionally good. I was pleased to hear the noble Lord, Lord Lester of Herne Hill, acknowledge that in his gracious and eloquent speech. Clearly, time is needed for discussions and consultations to take place to resolve the issue. I am looking forward, as I know all Members of the House will be, to the amendment which the Government plan to table at Third Reading. So, notwithstanding the arrow that was directed at my heart by my good friend the Opposition spokesman, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
