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
There is perhaps some merit in the hon. Gentleman’s suggestion, although I would hesitate to use the term ““electoral bribe”” because I fear that it might be unparliamentary. The Government rather oversold the proposal during the general election. It was suggested to some faith communities that they would be getting the equivalent to Christian blasphemy measures, but clearly the Bill was never intended to be such a thing.
