33. Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the working of the Race Relations Act; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave earlier today to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Swindon (Mr. Stoddart).

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will seek to amend the Race Relations Act 1965, Section 6, in relation to incitement, and the 1967 Act in relation to clubs which purport to be open to the public at large.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

All the existing race relations legislation and machinery are under review and I shall announce my proposals in due course. As to clubs, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on 18th November to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Huddersfield, West (Mr. Lomas).—[Vol. 881, c. 299.]
