HC Deb 11 February 1994 vol 237 cc535-6W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration has been given to the taking of legal action under the Race Relations Acts against the Hizb ut Tahrir organisation.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

[holding answer 10 February 1994]: There is no legal action under the Race Relations Act 1976 which requires the involvement of the Attorney-General. Offences of incitement to racial hatred are covered by part III of the Public Order Act 1986 for which the Attorney-General's consent is required before a case can proceed.
