Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [Lords].
Serious Crime Bill [Lords]
The Minister mentioned incitement. The Bill gets rid of the common law offence of incitement and replaces it with new provisions. There is growing concern across the country, and on both sides of the House, about incitement in lyrics, especially of rap songs, which are particularly offensive to minority groups. Is the Minister's intention, through the Bill, that there should be prosecutions to bring the offensive nature of many rap lyrics under control?
