Hain warns BBC over BNP appearance
Updated on 19 October 2009
A Cabinet minister has warned the BBC that it could face legal action unless it scraps the controversial appearance of far-right MEP Nick Griffin on Question Time.
Peter Hain has written to BBC director general Mark Thompson demanding he suspend the "abhorrent" inclusion of the British National Party leader on the flagship political debate show.
The Welsh Secretary argued that the BNP was at present "an unlawful body" after the party told a court last week it would amend its whites-only membership rules to meet discrimination legislation.
