Elizabeth Truss
This is an important reform; we need to get it right. We will be introducing proposals in due course. We will deliver on this manifesto commitment.
Karl Turner (Kingston upon Hull East) (Lab)
Which convention rights does the Justice Secretary propose to leave out of the Bill of Rights?
Elizabeth Truss
I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question, and I remember with fondness our time together on the Justice Committee, where he had many good thoughts to put forward. We will be putting out our proposals in due course, which will discuss these issues in detail, but one of the important points is that we want the ultimate arbiter of those rights to be the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
