This bill would allow the UK to apply to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. It also sets out a framework for deporting people alleged or suspected of terrorism, but any deportations would require approval by British courts. In short, it changes how human rights protections apply in the UK and how alleged terrorists can be removed, with judicial oversight.
The bill is presently at the second reading in the House of Commons. The first reading occurred in June 2013; there is no further progress data provided here.
