Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Terrorism.


International Terrorism

In the Home Secretary's Prevent strategy, on page 84 of the document, she rightly says:""Building community cohesion is about creating strong and positive relationships between people of different backgrounds, including those...from different faith communities."" Given that statement, does she recognise the potential for inconsistency in allowing schools, through religious discrimination, to segregate communities further, meaning that white-only schools can stay white-only by refusing admission to Muslims and Asian schools can remain Asian-only by excluding applications from non-Muslims? Will she pause to reconsider the policy of allowing that sort of segregation to get worse?
