Human Rights committee launches new inquiry
The Joint Committee on Human Rights has called for evidence on the human rights implications of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill.

Further to this, the committee is asking whether the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill raises any significant human rights concerns and whether the proposed increases of the maximum sentences are justified and proportionate.
