Business of the House

Business question from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
This week the Serious Organised Crime Agency shelved plans to name drug barons, people traffickers and other criminals who have had financial reporting orders placed on them, because doing so would breach their human rights. The purpose of naming them was to make it more difficult for them to reoffend, and to help the public to co-operate with the police in reporting suspicious financial transactions. Will the Leader of the House give us an opportunity to debate human rights legislation, which increasingly seems to distort the law in favour of criminals?
