Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
It is not that there is no urgency. If we are looking to change the law, whether through primary legislation or other routes, we have to be careful to ensure that we are not doing so on the basis of just one case. If the Joint Committee has evidence in relation to other cases, we will certainly look again at the issue of injunctions and I will certainly pass any such evidence on to my right hon. Friend the Minister for Policing, Crime and Counter-Terrorism. However, as I say, we cannot work on the basis of one case. Let us take what is perhaps a more challenging example. If there is someone who is a partner and, say, a member of Fathers 4 Justice, could that person not use the cloak of being a protester to circumvent civil procedure rules?
