Common Sense, Confusion, and Human Rights
7 May 2015
Hertford Law Fellow Alison Young is co-author of a new – and timely – paper on the Conservative Party and the Human Rights Act (1998).
She and her collaborator Stephen Dimelow presented their findings last week to an invited audience including parliamentarians, journalists, current and former civil servants and academics. Possible plans to replace the HRA with a bill of rights could not, says Alison diplomatically, be done ‘without a high political cost’.
