A hypothetical #PMQ on human rights



Q1. Now that Parliament has voted not to have a referendum on its membership of the European Union, does the Prime Minister agree with me, particularly at this crucial time for the Eurozone economies, that Britain should be playing a part in the heart of Europe?

Q2. Would the Prime Minister like to update the House on how any redrafting of the European Treaty to strengthen the European bank and European banks would affect the U.K.?

Q3. Does the Prime Minister then agree, whatever our relationship with Europe, that a critical part of our membership is being a signatory to the European Convention of Human Rights?

Q4. Does the Prime Minister remember the Deputy Prime Minister, saying the following on Wednesday 21 September this year?  [pause] “So let me say something really clear about the Human Rights Act. In fact I’ll do it in words of one syllable: It is here to stay.”

Q5. The Prime Minister rightly called for a need not to get distracted needlessly earlier.

Was then the Lord Chancellor correct to call the Rt. Hon Member for Maidenhead’s views about the Human Rights Act as being “laughable as childish”?

Q6. Does the Prime Minister concede that, if we did not have a legally-enforceable instrument for human rights here, the number of referrals to Strasbourg would necessarily increase?
