HL Deb 30 October 1995 vol 566 c142WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will introduce legislation in accordance with Article 7 of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance or of Discrimination based on Religion, produced by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 36/55, adopted on 25th November 1981, that everyone in the United Kingdom shall be able to avail himself of the rights and freedoms set forth in the declaration; and if not, why not.

Baroness Blatch

The Government have no plans to do so. There is no evidence to suggest that existing legislation is inadequate to deal with any problems which may exist.
