The second reading of the government’s Bill of Rights Bill did not go ahead as scheduled.
The second reading of the government’s Bill of Rights Bill, which was due to take place on 12 September 2022, did not go ahead as scheduled, as parliamentary business was suspended for the period of national mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
However, it has been reported that the Bill, which was the flagship policy of former Lord Chancellor Dominic Raab, may not now go ahead, as Prime Minister Liz Truss’s new cabinet reviews its priorities. The Bill proposes replacing the Human Rights Act 1998 with a Bill of Rights.
