Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to address the declaration of incompatibility handed down by the High Court on 14 May, and to bring certain provisions of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, introduced by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, into compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights; and whether they will do so before the end of the current session of parliament.

We are disappointed that the High Court has come to the decision it has. As with all decisions of this nature, we will now carefully consider the judgment and the options available to us going forward.
