HC Deb 26 January 1965 vol 705 c190W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends that legislation against racial discrimination should be introduced; and whether such legislation will be extended to include incitement against racial and religious groups.

Mr. George Thomas

My right hon. Friend has these matters under close and active consideration, but he is not yet in a position to make a statement.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the religious discrimination in Northern Ireland, his draft legislation against discrimination will be extended to cover Northern Ireland.

Mr. George Thomas

Without accepting the implication of my hon. Friend's Question, I would refer him to the reply given to his Question today about racial discrimination and incitement against racial and religious groups.
