Business of the House

Business question from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2016. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

The Government have done extremely well in making their announcement about the disapplication of aspects of the European convention on human rights from the

battlefield in future conflicts. This has been welcomed by hon. Members on both sides of the House, not least by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Plymouth, Moor View (Johnny Mercer) who, with fellow members of the Defence Sub-Committee and other hon. Members, has focused attention on this important issue in a tremendous campaign. When will the Government make further announcements, not about protecting people in future conflicts, but about protecting people who currently face pursuit in the courts over past and present conflicts?
