Human Rights Act

Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on Human Rights Act.

I say, in passing, that I hope we never get to the stage where the implementation of law by the courts is entirely to the satisfaction of the Government. Surely the problem is that if we get to a point where we have a British Bill of Rights but remain a contracting party to the European convention, which has a higher standard of human rights protection, anyone dissatisfied with their rights as applied in the UK domestic courts under the British Bill could still have recourse to the wider protection of the European Court in Strasbourg.
