Chairman: Sir Bob Neil MP, Chair of Justice Committee, House of Commons

Concerns have been raised whether the Coronavirus Regulations are ultra vires the power under which they were made, whether the Government’s published Guidance has confused what it is now illegal with what is merely undesirable, why the safeguards in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 have not been provided, and the extent to which the restrictions are compatible with Convention rights. The panellists have all published or researched on these questions. 

The discussion will address how Government policies could be implemented on a surer legal foundation.
