Religious Offences

2004 the Government included an offence of Incitement to Religious Hatred in the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill. The Church of England's response to this was expressed in a speech by the Bishop of Manchester in the House of Lords on 29 November 2004.

In 2002 the Archbishops Council published a submission to the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences which states its approach to the issue.
