As set out in the Government’s manifesto, we need to look at the broader aspects of our constitution including the balance between the rights of individuals and effective government, this includes updating the Human Rights Act. Further details will be announced in due course. This does not change the fact that the UK is committed to human rights, and will continue to champion human rights at home and abroad.
