Conclusion
Unless the Government is prepared to reconsider clause 24, we would like to see it removed from the Bill (see Annex, Amendment 21). In its place express provision should be made in the Bill to incorporate into domestic law our existing obligation to comply with interim measures as an essential means to secure the right to individual petition and the full enjoyment of Convention rights within our jurisdiction (see Annex, Amendment 2).
