Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

The hon. Gentleman has drawn attention to a real problem to do with debating laws such as this: we do not have time to debate them and are not given the chance to do so on Report in the House of Commons. The Minister knows that this matter was dealt with in the Wright Committee report. The solution to this matter—it is within the scope of the issues that we are discussing—is to accept and support the recommendations of that Committee. The Minister should say that her job would be made easier if the powers that be allowed the House to debate fully and endorse those recommendations.
