Human Rights

I agree with that last remark, but I wish to ask the hon. Gentleman to answer the following simple question. In terms of the matter under debate, does he not agree that it is the application of the universal principles that causes the inhibitions, the difficulties and the misinterpretations? Unless the law is specific, clear and unambiguous we are bound to get into a situation time and again in which public services or the police, or others, are over-cautious about matters.
