BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The last of six talks about Law, Justice and Democracy by Lord McCluskey, Scottish High Court Judge, Solicitor-General for Scotland 1974-9

'If, as a result of enacting a Bill of Rights, issues which are now decided in Parliament come to be litigated in the Courts and decided by judges then the cast of mind of the higher judiciary will inevitably become a matter of profound political interest'.

(Re-broadcast next Sunday on Radio 3)
The Reith Lectures are printed weekly in The Listener
