Proposed British Bill of Rights

This article is about the 2015 proposal by the Cameron government. For the 2022 proposal by the Johnson government, see Bill of Rights Bill.

The Proposed British Bill of Rights was a proposal of the Second Cameron ministry, included in their 2015 election manifesto, to replace the Human Rights Act 1998 with a new piece of primary legislation.

After resistance from within the governing Conservative party, leader David Cameron delayed introducing the legislation;[1] the idea was not introduced again until 2022, when it was re-introduced by the Johnson government as a Bill of Rights.
