Human Rights

Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
I shall first address some comments to the hon. Member for North-West Norfolk (Mr. Bellingham), who talked about the abolition of the Human Rights Act but did not take an intervention from me in which I would have asked how then the protection would be given to the individual. Despite his best efforts, the hon. Member for Stone (Mr. Cash) did not fully embrace those issues. If the Conservative party is going down that line, Conservative Members owe it to the nation to spell out in their Bill of Rights how the lonely individual who wants to take on the excesses of local authority, the Government or one of the other institutions of our land will have the right, the wherewithal and the justification to do so.
