Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I do not want to get into the mechanics of what is to happen next. Rather, I should like to make two points. First, I thank the noble Baroness for dealing at last with things like the Bench Book and the Judicial Studies Board, about both of which I have asked twice before. I thank her for her response. I should like to say to the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lyell, that I chose the word ““reasonable”” for a very good purpose. It occurs in Section 5 of the Public Order Act—we are still talking about that Act, no matter in what form this emerges. The Divisional Court has said that it is a formula which imports the articles of the European Convention on Human Rights. So I thought it would be useful to air the matter and to show that the Committee has a means of bringing in these matters in accordance with the judicial guidance that has already been given. It might be useful for the Government because, after all, it has been approved before. For the moment, there is no point in continuing with the matter. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 4A to 7 not moved.]
