European Court of Human Rights

Lord Lexden Excerpts

Wednesday 25th October 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

As I have just said, ideally, international collaboration and joint solutions are far preferable to unilateral action.

[Lord Lexden (Con)]

My Lords, notwithstanding my noble and learned friend’s comments about the possible need for change due to the passage of time, should we not always remember that it was a very distinguished Conservative, David Maxwell Fyfe, later Viscount Kilmuir and Lord Chancellor in this House, who drafted much of the present convention?

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

I entirely agree with my noble friend.
