Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I am sure that my hon. Friend will speak for herself about that. On the more serious point, I emphasise the importance of ensuring that the new provision is extended to both religious and racial hatred. It is not a case of us being picky. If we do not extend it to both, we provide one set of protection for Jews and Sikhs, who are currently covered by the race hate legislation, and another for other religious groups. It is an important principle, to which we shall return.
