Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

I take on board that the hon. Gentleman is giving us an historical lesson about the background to the legislation, but we are also talking about its practical ramifications. Is he concerned about the perverse and obscene spectacle of police forces distributing in public mug shots of criminals convicted of very serious offences but the public not being permitted to know what crimes they have been convicted of and human rights being used as the excuse for that?
