Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).

The Minister has been extremely generous in giving way. A few moments ago, she referred to the importance of tackling hate crime. Given that there have been several instances, including a number of relatively well publicised cases, of musical lyrics urging the assassination of gay people, and that in each and every one of those cases no action has been taken, does she think that the existing law is adequate, and if not, what does she propose to do about it?
