Lawfare and UK Court System

Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 January 2022. It occurred during Backbench debate on Lawfare and UK Court System.

The hon. Gentleman is being incredibly generous. I underline that the Ministry of Justice is out for consultation on reform of the Human Rights Act 1998, which helps to enshrine the ECHR. Does he agree that it is absolutely essential that there is no backsliding on our obligations to preserve a pluralist media environment with vigorous public debate and the cherishing of free speech?
