Rule of law under pressure

From sustained attacks on the judiciary to a crisis in legal aid and the administration of justice, the rule of law is under significant pressure in the UK. It has therefore never been more important to protect and strengthen it, says a recent report entitled ‘Rule of law: holding the line between anarchy and tyranny’, from the House of Lords Constitution Committee. This Global Insight podcast hears from three members of the Committee about why the rule of law matters. With: Lord Strathclyde, Chair, House of Lords Constitution Committee Lady Laing, Member of Parliament 1997–2024 Lord Anderson, Barrister, former Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation
