2014 JHA Opt-out Decision

Proceeding contribution from Mark Reckless (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on 2014 JHA Opt-out Decision.

I felt I should intervene on my hon. Friend following the intervention from my hon. Friend the Member for Cheltenham (Martin Horwood). I do not think the European Court of Human Rights can dictate to our courts. In the Abu Hamza case, it said that the nine injunctions were not binding on our courts. They are certainly not binding on this Parliament. If the Government choose to act on them because of the ministerial code, that is for the Government, but the injunctions are not binding on our courts or Parliament.
