Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
There is no question of the Human Rights Act putting the rights of criminals ahead of those of victims; far from it. Most of the reports about what has been done in the name of the Human Rights Act are extremely misleading and downright wrong. I think the Human Rights Act has been a very important piece of legislation. The Government are proud of it, and one very good reason for stopping the Tories getting into Government next time around is their commitment to abolish it.
