House of Commons – May 19, 2021 – 4

Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 33), That the amendment be made. Amendment: Amendment proposed: (g) at end add: “but respectfully regret that measures to create a requirement for the Government to act when the Courts find that Government policy creates an incompatibility with the human rights of a UK citizen were not included in the Gracious Speech;

recognise as a result of not addressing rulings made by the courts on these issues children who have lost a mother or father but whose parents were not married, and vulnerable victims of domestic violence who have been required to pay the bedroom tax because they have a sanctuary room, have been discriminated against;

note that these rulings were made in 2018, 2019 and 2020 so that there has been ample time for the Government to address those rulings;

further note that if the Government ignores the decisions made by Courts on the rights of UK citizens this undermines the integrity of the judicial and democratic process;

and call on the Government to bring forward measures to fully remedy those incompatibilities within three months.”—(Stella Creasy.)
