Lord Ouseley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action they propose to prevent law enforcement officers and other public servants from holding membership of known racist organisations proscribed by law. [HL257]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal)

My right honourable friend the Home Secretary has recently agreed with the view that membership of groups such as the British National Party (BNP) by police officers should be a disciplinary offence.
