Deportation: Human Rights
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of repealing the Human Rights Act 1998 on the efficiency of deportations.
- Answer
-
The Human Rights Act is an important part of our constitutional arrangements and fundamental to human rights protections in the UK. It will remain part of our law.
As set out in our Immigration White Paper, we will legislate to reform our approach to the application of Article 8 ECHR in the immigration system, and we are also reviewing the application of Article 3 in immigration and extradition cases. This will ensure the correct balance is struck between individual rights and the wider public interest in controlling migration.
