Proceeding contribution from Ann Widdecombe (Conservative) 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 am grateful to the Minister for giving way. I am particularly grateful to her for rushing through her own amendments earlier to try and ensure greater debate, although the Government's role in the amount of time that they have given us today is a shambles. Already there have been three high-profile incidents where the police have questioned people such as Iqbal Sacranie, who have done nothing more than express a religious view. Why should we believe that the amendment is not necessary to make it explicit that that should not be a criminal offence?
