Mr. Henderson: I am grateful to my hon. Friend for reiterating that important point. If she had had more time, or had caught Madam Speaker's eye today, she would probably have said that the Government do not care about the measure's impact on community and race relations, which is the most damning feature of the Bill and of clause 8 in particular. Representations have been made by a wide spectrum of interests--Churches, small business organisations, the TUC, Amnesty International and even the CBE. They all hold different views on how workable the proposals are, but all agree that they have damaging implications for race and community relations.
Ninety-four per cent. of businesses in this country employ fewer than 10 people. If the Government care about small businesses or about the people whom they employ and the communities that they serve, they will accept the amendment.
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The House divided: Ayes 258, Noes 284.
Tellers for the Ayes:
Tellers for the Noes:
Question accordingly negatived.
It being after Ten o'clock, further consideration of the Bill stood adjourned.
