Before asking that question, I note that Deputy Tóibín has proposed that the committee send a letter to the Minister for Foreign Affairs calling on the Government to state publicly that it will take a case. I second that.

My final question relates to the fact that Britain's commitment to the ECHR seems uncertain, which is a frightening prospect. The Home Secretary made the convention a major target during her failed leadership campaign. What does Ms Teggart think the future holds for the Human Rights Act in the UK?
