European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.
How is it possible to preserve these constitutional and legislative prerogatives and yet still provide that the provisions of the convention can be pleaded in and acted upon by our courts? These are the turbulent waters into which we are now moving. I hope to show that the correct course open to us is the one set out in the route map laid down in the Bill which is now before the House for consideration.
