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

I know not of Slough, other than the references to it in Betjeman’s poems. The choice is clear. We can either accept the Minister’s reassurances about guidance to come that will make everything clear, or we can do our jobs as parliamentarians by scrutinising the legislation before us. We cannot do both.
