In his lecture, Mr Grieve reflected on the steps being taken to prepare from the UK withdrawal from the EU following the referendum. He especially focused on the protection of human rights, considering the interaction of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the UK's own Human Rights act, and how the government might change the protection of human rights as part of the implementation of the EU Withdrawal Bill.
