Harriet Harman – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Harriet Harman on 2016-04-25.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what his policy is on UK membership of the European Convention on Human Rights; and if he will make a statement.
Dominic Raab
As I told the House on 26th April, the Government’s position on the European Convention of Human Rights remains clear. We cannot rule out withdrawing forever, but our forthcoming proposals do not include it.
We are confident that we can replace the Human Rights Act with a Bill of Rights and reform our relationship with the Strasbourg Court.
