The House of Lords is holding its first debate on the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales on Thursday, 3 April. Stonewall expect this debate to provide the first indication of the level of opposition to the repeal of this hateful clause in the House of Lords.

Stonewall still need as many people as possible to help them in their campaign to “” by signing the petition against Section 28, which they are going to present to the three main political party leaders.

The next stage of debate in the House of Lords will come around Easter time when repeal will be discussed more closely by the committee considering the Local Government Bill.
