§ 38. Sir M. Haversasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government will reconsider the appointment of a Royal Commission to consider the need for a Bill of Rights in the light of the remarks of Lord Justice Scarman.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsI have read Lord Justice Scarman's recent lectures with much interest, and appreciate the relevance and importance of the issue which he raises. But while I hope these lectures will stimulate further public discussion of the issue I doubt whether the time is yet ripe for the appointment of a Royal Commission.
