Liberty and the Law
Presented by John Eidinow
The rule of law, it is arguefl, is in retreat; Lord Hailsham has spoken of an elective dictatorship '. New pressures, particularly the prospect of devolved government, could lead to a written catalogue of civil liberties and fundamental constitution changes. How realistic, and necessary, is such reform? How best can the citizens' rights be defined and preserved? Should the state and society be subject to greater legal control?
