Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
The hon. and learned Lady refers to conflict between the principles set out in the Human Rights Act. Will she concede that it is extremely difficult in present-day circumstances—it was before, but is much more so today—to reconcile the rights in article 11, which deals with matters such as freedom of conscience and of religion, and rights such as freedom of speech? Those inherent conflicts are part of the problem when there is an inability to provide for a hierarchy of principles.
