BRIGHTON CONFERENCE: THE CASE OF ABU QATADA AND THE RULE OF LAW

Early day motion 2985, tabled 19 April 2012 by Bill Cash (Conservative). Signed by 22 members.

That this House insists, in relation to the Brighton conference on the European Convention of Human Rights, that legislation enacted in the UK Parliament is the ultimate source of the rule of law in the UK and on which judicial interpretation and judgement is based, that the case of Abu Qatada demonstrates the urgent need for the enactment of a Bill of Rights at Westminster including reasserting these traditional principles and replacing the European Convention together with the repeal of the Human Rights Act 1998 and that the Bill of Rights, as enacted by the UK Parliament, shall be the sole source of that sphere of the rule of law in the UK.

Signatures by party: Conservative 22.
