Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2025

Debate

Community Engagement Principles and Extremism Definition

Contribution

I commend both sides of the House on how they have respectfully approached this statement, because that is really important. The Minister talked about the robustness of this topic, and I am keen to pick him up on that, because one tenet in the UK is all about safety and the other is freedom of speech. Can the Government rule out changing any definitions that could lead, intentionally or unintentionally, towards blasphemy laws, because free speech is really important?
