Baroness Williams of Trafford
From the noise that the noble Baroness is hearing she will be able to tell that the whole House agrees with her. I sometimes wonder whether the bravery of ordinary people is something that I would be capable of, and that imam was absolutely wonderful.
Lord Hutton of Furness (Lab)
My Lords, will the commission for countering extremism, which she has referred to a number of times, exercise any statutory powers or functions?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
I think the commission itself needs to explore the work that it is doing, and those deliberations are certainly in train. Whether legislation is needed as a result will become clear in due course.
