Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for listening to the views of the Committee about the power of arrest. However, listening to an important but small point does not let him off the hook for listening to the large points to which we shall come. Can he give some other examples of criminal laws where the power of arrest has also been excluded? How does he intend to publicise—I am sure that his remarks will be well read tomorrow morning—and get the message across to people what will happen as a result of the Bill?
