Company 'settles over anti-English legal claim'
Last Updated: 2:08am BST 02/05/2007
A nationalist political party which sued a hospitality company for anti-English discrimination has been paid £5,200 in an out of court settlement, it was claimed yesterday.
The English Democrats Party took legal action against Royal Armouries International, which provides corporate hospitality at the Royal Armouries museum, after a booking for a conference room in Leeds was cancelled.
The party, which campaigns for an English Parliament, said RAI initially claimed the room was double-booked but later said it was concerned about potential damage to its reputation. The English Democrats said RAI's actions were in breach of the Race Relations Act.
Party vice-chairman Christine Constable said: "This is a notable victory in a battle against political correctness and a warning to all those Government-funded institutions whose loathing of all things English has been shown by this case to be illegal."
