European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.
Somebody used a lovely phrase about the crux of this Bill being the extent to which we wanted to determine issues of justice in our courts or export them to Strasbourg. If there was full incorporation, there would be far less traffic to Strasbourg and we would be able to handle our affairs here far more adequately and consistently. That is another argument in favour of full legislative incorporation.
