Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I support the new clause, and I joined the hon. Gentleman, and the present Leader of the Opposition, in the Lobby in 2005, along with the late and lamented Robin Cook. Does the hon. Gentleman accept that our prime motivation in seeking to push this issue and to abolish this discriminatory and outdated piece of common law was the fact that we fundamentally believed that all faiths should be treated equally?
