Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.


Counter-Terrorism Bill

We want to ensure that people do not argue that racially motivated terrorism has been specifically excluded. The reality is that ““racial”” encompasses people anyway. It is just for clarity and because some people might well argue that we are trying to exclude it for some reason. We are not. It simply makes sense to include it on that basis.
