“….This admirably comprehensive book fills a vital gap in setting out a detailed recipe for completing the process of Bringing Rights Home” Fiona Mactaggart MP “This timely book breaks new ground in showing how the Human Rights Act can be used as a springboard for a strong Parliamentary Human Rights committee and for mainstreaming human rights in Whitehall. Essential reading for everyone who takes human rights seriously.” Lord Lester of Herne Hill QC
