Freedoms and Civil Liberties

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proposals they have to restore individual freedoms and civil liberties.
Answer

My Lords, the Government are taking urgent action to address the erosion of civil liberties and freedoms. We are committed to protecting our citizens from the big government approach that has created an intrusive, bureaucratic state. We have already introduced a Bill to scrap ID cards and the national identity register. We will also introduce a freedom Bill and repeal a number of unnecessary laws.
