Raab urged to let parliament scrutinise Human Rights Act replacement

Letter from 150 organisations adds to MPs' concern about the bill of rights bypassing pre-legislative process

Dominic Raab is facing demands today from 150 organisations to allow detailed parliamentary scrutiny of legislation that is expected to replace the Human Rights Act.

The justice secretary has been sent a letter coordinated by the campaign group Liberty calling for the bill of rights to be subjected to robust consideration" amid fears that it will put the government beyond the reach of the law.
