Proceeding contribution from Lord Patten (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on UK: Tolerance, Democracy and Openness.


UK: Tolerance, Democracy and Openness

I listened with care to everything that the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Oldham, has just said. He will correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that his belief is that the only way, in the words of his noble friend Lord Harrison, to make the United Kingdom a more tolerant, democratic and open society is to use legislation on every occasion to bring this about.
