HC Deb 04 February 1991 vol 185 c6W
Mr. Janner

To ask the Attorney-General whether he will make a statement concerning the prosecution of people who disseminate anti-semitic and other racist material.

The Attorney-General

Such people may commit offences under part III of the Public Order Act 1986, or under the Malicious Communications Act 1988. I recently consented to a prosecution under the 1986 Act and I expect to make decisions under that Act in other cases in the near future.
