Proceeding contribution from Lord Fellowes of West Stafford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Privacy Injunctions.
Privacy Injunctions
Does my noble and learned friend accept that in a settled society, the strength of its laws derives from the support of the majority the population? The black code or the death sentence were abolished not only because judges and Parliament abolished them but because the public ceased to support them. Is there not a danger here that we are on the edge, whatever the legal minutiae, of developing laws that the public are not in sympathy with?
