The new Conservative Government will move fast to abolish the Human Rights Act, it is expected that the Government will announce many legislative changes, which include this, in the Queens speech on the 27th May 2015.
A key element in the conservatives manifesto was the promise to scrap the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights.
This move is designed to give more control through Westminster and away from Europe. The Tory party has long been very critical of the Human Rights Act introduced by the Labour party under Mr Blair; stating that Laws, imposed by Strasbourg, do not consider the differences' between Britain and Europe and that many of the Laws imposed upon our country are wrong.
Some of the Laws imposed are often viewed as wrong, for instance, the rights of prisoners to vote, or the rights of terrorists not to be deported.
These examples will grab many headlines and support, but the devil is always in the detail and it will be the new British Bill of Rights that will come under the spotlight in the long term.
Is the introduction of the new bill designed in some way to placate Euro sceptics in advance of the EU referendum?
My view is, if the Human Rights Act does not work for us, then we do need an alternative, some countries have gone for the power to veto or opt out of any laws imposed by the EU, the option the government has chosen is to abolish the Human Rights Act all together and introduce a new Bill.
It will be interesting to see how this move affects the agreement signed by Tony Blair and the rights people have to take cases to the European Court.
