Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)
Morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is an unexpected pleasure. Hon. Members may remove their jackets if they wish to do so. I notice that one or two have pre-empted the Chairman’s decision on that.
Clearly, the first set of amendments is massive and will generate a fairly wide-ranging debate. On that basis, those who know my practice in the Chair will understand that I shall not expect to have a schedule stand part debate at the end, so if you have something to say, say it.
