Following the introduction of the Illegal Migration Bill to Parliament earlier this month, Laura spoke in today's Committee Stage debate on the Bill.
In her speech, Laura spoke about the UK's commitments to upholding human rights and she spoke against amendments tabled which would have resulted in the UK's derogation from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Laura said that derogating from the ECHR "is not the answer and won't do the job" and that it would "undermine the effectiveness" of the Bill.Â
When the Bill was announced Laura also spoke to Sky News about it, which you can watch here.
