Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3).
Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3)
I shall be brief. I am not sure that the hon. Member for Gainsborough (Mr Leigh) and I necessarily agree on all things in this area, but on this we completely agree. I am a signatory to new clause 1, which I am delighted to support. It is essential that we look at this issue. We have heard, for example, that Liberty took up a case where somebody was threatened with prosecution under section 5 of the 1986 Act for peacefully holding a placard that said, ““Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult””. That is a matter of opinion rather than a matter for prosecution.
