HL Deb 24 May 1999 vol 601 c68WA
Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Williams of Mostyn on 10 May (WA 124), whether they are aware of any left wing groups "promoting racial and other intolerance, extreme nationalism and bigotry" or whether these attributes are in their view attributes only of right wing parties. [HL2497]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

We have never suggested that intolerance is confined to one side of the political spectrum. As my earlier Answer made clear, the phrase "extreme right wing groups" is not a technical term.
