The below Parliamentary question was asked by Margaret Ritchie on 2016-03-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to consult on proposals to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998.

Dominic Raab

We will bring forward proposals for a Bill of Rights, which will replace the Human Rights Act. Our Bill will protect fundamental human rights, but also prevent their abuse and restore some common sense to the system. We will fully consult on our proposals before introducing legislation and will publish our proposals in due course.
