Conservative backbencher David Davis MP has called for the UK Government to distribute vitamin D supplementation to society s most at-risk of Covid-19.
Any move to dilute human rights laws in the UK would threaten the post-Brexit deal on justice and security cooperation, MPs have been told.
New extradition, data sharing and law enforcement cooperation arrangements are underpinned by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), academics told a Westminster committee.
The justice and law experts cautioned the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee that the EU would likely move to suspend those arrangements if the UK stepped away from the ECHR.
The convention is translated into UK domestic law under the Human Rights Act.
Last year the Government commissioned an independent review of the Act and how it is functioning.
