Today's Video Focus: The United Nations human rights chief has called on Bangladesh to halt
plans to begin repatriating thousands of Rohingya refugees back to
Myanmar on Thursday, saying it would put their lives in danger.
Focus of the Day Article:
The government should only reject peers’ advice about the use of
secondary legislation to enact key parts of legislation like the Civil
Liability Bill if there are “clear and compelling reasons”, the House of
Lords constitution committee said today. The committee described
the government’s use of delegated powers as “increasing and
constitutionally objectionable” and warned it that the “constitutional
restraint” shown by peers towards challenging secondary legislation
could be undermined.
