Petition Suspend all new legislation and submit to an independent legal compliancy audit

A substantial number of recent legal cases, political events and commentaries on regulatory changes have found the Government to be in breach, de facto and de jure, of a substantial number of its legal obligations under International Law, Human Rights Law, the Constitutional Law of the UK, etc.

More details

Therefore, the Government should announce legislation to suspend all proposed legislative and regulatory changes, including those made under discretionary (budgetary and departmental) competences, and submit to a full legal compliancy audit by an independent company.

This audit will assess the legality, proportionality and justiciability of current legislation and policy, as well as the role of expert partners, such as the ONS, and stakeholders, in forming Government policy and legislation.
