Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
My point is that those people are victims. They have rights as well. Surely we should do two things: reinforce and reimpose parliamentary democracy as supreme over European law; and spend more time trying to protect the rights of people who are victims of crime and really need their rights protected, and less time worrying about the rights of terrorists and criminals, which this law obliges us to do, day in and day out. I suggest that the Minister follow our advice. The Act is not fit for purpose. Why does she not admit that and join us in repealing it?
