HC Deb 18 March 1965 vol 708 cc309-10W
92. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will ensure that the proposed Bill to outlaw discrimination and incitement will not be capable of evasion by directing such discrimination or incitement to the religion of the person against whom such discrimination or incitement is practised.

Sir F. Soskice

I am aware of this consideration, and will bear it in mind.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, using the powers residing in Her Majesty's Government by virtue of Section 75 of the Government of Ireland Act, he will cause an inquiry to be made into the suitability or otherwise of applying the proposed anti-discrimination and incitement legislation to Northern Ireland.

Sir F. Soskice

No. I do not think such an inquiry is called for.
