HC Deb 09 June 1997 vol 295 c327W
39. Mr. Lawrie Quinn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to improve the United Kingdom's record on human rights. [953]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

We will incorporate the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. This will allow people to enforce their human rights in British courts, and will promote a greater awareness of human rights issues in society as a whole.
