British Bill of Rights faces several hurdles - IPPR
IPPR research fellow Mat Lawrence, responded to the Queen's Speech
"The Queen’s Speech contained a ritual within a ritual: the near annual promise to introduce a British Bill of Rights that almost certainly won’t come to pass.
"Yet beyond the politics, there are significant practical challenges facing any potential British Bill of Rights: how would it interact with devolution and the Good Friday Agreement? How would it relate to the Human Rights Act and European law, which would remain sovereign? What would the actual content of the rights to be enshrined, and how they would be enforced?
"Given these hurdles, at this rate it seems we will have a legal infrastructure for driverless cars before we find a resolution to the British Bill of Rights ritual."
