Ms Rebecca Keatinge:

The Deputy hit on something we discussed in great detail, namely, whether to propose wording that tinkered with Article 43 and whether there was scope to define the common good more explicitly. This was considered through the Home for Good Coalition and the legal subgroup. Ultimately, we came to the conclusion that a stand-alone right would provide much greater protection and have greater force and impact. That is because two stand-alone rights would be competing against each other, rather than the internal tweaking and balance that happens, which has been the block that has been identified and discussed to such an extent during the meeting.
