HC Deb 08 December 1992 vol 215 c556W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation whereby racial violence would be a specific criminal offence, along the lines recommended by the Commission for Racial Equality.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The recommendations in the Commission for Racial Equality's second review of the Race Relations Act have wide-ranging implications for a number of Government Departments. A response to the idea of a new offence of racial violence will be made as part of the Government's response to the CRE review as a whole.
