Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 8:39 pm on 27 April 1983.
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, under the previous Government, supported for a time by the Liberal party, even that capacity was not available to the House? I do not remember the Liberal party raising the issue of the exemptions given under the Race Relations Act 1976, which is how the matter has been dealt with before, which gave the House no status whatsoever. I do not remember that being said.
