Human Rights Act

Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Cox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on Human Rights Act.

If it is so impossible to have a British Bill of Rights alongside adherence to the convention, why is it the case that Germany, France and almost every other European country have their own constitutions with enshrined charters of rights that sit quite comfortably alongside adherence to the convention?
