New Clause 15 - Referral of applicant to another authority
Homes Bill
4:00 pm
Ms Oona King (Bethnal Green and Bow, Labour)
I thank the Minister for the constructive proposals that he has made. I understand that they will give protection to people at risk of violence, including racial violence. Before concluding these brief remarks, I should like to thank the hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham for his thoughtful contribution on an area that I wish was less subject to party-political point scoring. This is an opportunity for us to send out a clear message that people who are at risk of racially motivated violence will now get the protection that they deserve. On that basis, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
Motion and clause, by leave, withdrawn.
