Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) 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

Such guidance would assist us by giving us a practical idea of what we would be subjecting the citizen to by passing the Bill, but it would be of limited use because guidance is not binding in any way and, as we know, draft guidance can be changed dramatically by the time that it is imposed. Hon. Members will never be given a proper and formal opportunity to debate the guidance.
