Government statement to the House in response to allowing appeals for sex offender registration: I can tell the House today that the Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary will shortly announce the
establishment of a Commission to investigate the creation of a British Bill of Rights. It is time to assert that it is Parliament that makes our laws, not the courts; that the rights of the public come before the
rights of criminals; and above all, that we have a legal framework that brings sanity to cases such as these.
