Proceeding contribution from Paul Goggins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill 2005-06.


Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I have some sympathy with my hon. Friend. Of course we would want guidance to be available as soon as possible within the process. However, given that we are debating Lords amendments, Government amendments and other amendments, it is not yet clear what legislation will ultimately be enacted. How could we publish guidance about legislation that is not yet determined? As part of the commitment that I have made, I would of course be as open as possible with the House in the way that the guidance is drawn up and involve people as far as possible.
