Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
My hon. Friend is addressing a central question that is extremely important. There is no reason on earth why we should not pass our own Westminster legislation to make sure that people are not abused or treated unfairly; we can provide safeguarding procedures. Does she not agree that the route that the Government are adopting through the Human Rights Act is causing more problems, partly because the categories in question extend from degrading treatment of the kind that includes torture down to the smacking of children? They are both included in the articles of the convention.
