Race Relations Act

HC Deb 23 November 1966 vol 736 c330W

Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will amend the Race Relations Act so that it cannot be used against non-racial demonstrators.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The Race Relations Act does not touch non-racial demonstrators, except in so far as it included an amendment to the Public Order Act, 1936. This latter Act clearly has a wider application.
