At long last it’s nearly here a British Bill of Rights, This follows two big cases about Prisoner votes and the Sex offenders register.
The Home Secretary announced to the House of Commons on the 16th February:
‘the Deputy Prime Minister and the Justice Secretary will shortly announce the establishment of a commission to investigate the creation of a British Bill of rights.
It is time to assert that it is Parliament that makes our laws, not the courts; that the rights of the public come before the rights of criminals; and, above all, that we have a legal framework that brings sanity to cases such as these’
(Hansard, 16 February, Col. 960).
Sandwell Tory said “Its about time”
