Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans she has to ensure that rights guaranteed by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights are retained after the UK leaves the EU.
This question was answered on 5th December 2016
The UK has a proud tradition of respect for human rights which long pre-dates the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The Government will consider the application of fundamental rights law as part of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. As the Prime Minister has stated, we will not be setting out unilateral positions in advance of these negotiations.
