Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.
Home Affairs and Justice
My hon. Friend referred to the British way, something which many of us feel strongly in our hearts. It has been the tradition in this country that we have an unwritten constitution. Does he now feel that the time is ripe for a codified constitution to be put in place to protect the liberties that all of us have perhaps taken for granted, but feel at this stage—[Interruption.] I am not passing a judgment either way on this matter, but given the concerns that my hon. Friend expressed, does he feel that it would be the right way forward?
