Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

I very much agree with the hon. Gentleman’s last point, other than that it would probably bog down the courts and cost a lot of money. Has he seen a publication from the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission? It is a very good plain English booklet giving clear examples of what is, and what is not, an infringement of human rights, using not real cases, but hypothetical ones involving real people, to illustrate very effectively how individual lives are affected. In parentheses, I urge the Minister to consider looking at publishing that on a wider basis throughout the remainder of the United Kingdom.
