Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill 2005-06.
In the past, recklessness has always been used to deal with a mischief that has already taken place, such as grievous bodily harm. For the first time, recklessness will deal with a mischief that has not yet taken place, which is a new concept in British law.
