Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].
Employment Bill [Lords]
The problem is that picking on a specific party—I do not want to give it too much oxygen—does not prevent someone who is openly fascist from being a member of a trade union. The danger lies in picking on a political party rather than an individual. As I understand it, this is not about the BNP but about abhorrent views of individuals. That is where the provisions should be much tighter.
