BNP facing injunction over membership policy

The BNP could face a legal injunction over a potential breach of race discrimination law relating to its membership policies, it was announced today.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission said it had demanded that the party took action to address its constitution and membership criteria, employment practices and provision of services to the public and constituents.

The BNP was asked to provide written undertakings by July 20 that it will make the required changes or it could face a legal injunction.
