Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
I want to draw my hon. Friend’s attention to what has happened under this legislation, as under health and safety legislation, which is that officials have found themselves in the position of having to defend a decision that they wish they had not taken, or a course of action that had been taken on budgetary or other grounds, and finding the words ““health and safety”” or ““human rights”” very convenient refuges.
