Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) 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

No one doubts the Under-Secretary’s good intentions. However, does he realise that, notwithstanding the Bill’s legal language, ordinary religious people might be inhibited from engaging in traditional religious disputation for fear of being caught in the Bill’s ambit? That is a genuine danger.
