Motion Text

That this House regrets the decision of the University of Bath to accept the visit of the British National Party leader Mr Nick Griffin to address campus students; recognises the importance of freedom of speech but not at the expense of events which may well violate Race Relations (Amendment) Act provisions against the promotion of racial hatred; and supports the campaign by the National Union of Students and the University and College Union to have the decision reversed.
