Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the courts always do that in relation to domestic legislation? Over the years, they have often interpreted legislation to give rights beyond those the Government might have wanted or even envisaged. When we ratified and incorporated the convention in domestic law, that was no different from when we did so in relation to other measures.
