EU-UK: CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS: House of Commons: European Scrutiny Committee

30 March 2014

"This Report arises from the state of confusion which exists in the UK about the applicability of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It was prompted by the comments of a High Court judge in November last year, which the Government sought to correct in the press, and which were debated on the floor of the House of Commons. In the first chapter of the Report we conclude that both this and the previous Government bear some responsibility for this confusion."
