Constitution Committee 6th Report
January 2, 2008
The House of Lords Constitution Committee in its 6th Report, published 11 July 2007 (referred to in class) examined the changing constitutional landscape in great detail (“the Report”). The criteria used in the Report for assessing the changing constitutional landscape are the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. The introduction to the Report provides a useful summary of these points, together with questions regarding the impact of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and the creation of the Ministry of Justice on the UK’s constitutional arrangements.
The link below provides further links to the introduction and all sections of the Report. You might also find useful the appendices, which include papers from eminent professors (including Professor Bradley), in particular, appendices 3-5; and evidence submitted by the Lord Chief Justice at appendix 8.
