Andrew Dismore MP is quoted in the Telegraph this morning talking about Islamic terrorists being " without fear of being put under a control order ". It's absurd to think that terrorists are likely to fear control orders - whether or not they are put under them. Control orders are a bit like sending them to the naughty step. So what? Do we really think that extremists willing to entertain the notion...

Andrew Dismore, a British MP is launching a new campaign this week for a change in the law that would allow major museums in the UK (such as the British Museum) to legally deaccession artefacts from their collections if they desired. The current impetus for this stems from the Feldmann case in 2005, although the [...]

Today’s papers report that the Labour Government are continuing to attack the excellent Jewish schools in Barnet for no fair reason. The Labour Government and Andrew Dismore the Labour MP for Hendon have unfairly criticised Rosh Pinah, Beis Yakov, Hasmonean Primary and Secondary and Mathilda Marks Kennedy schools for asking for voluntary contributions. As a councillor for Edgware, where Rosh Pinah...

What he actually wants to do is reverse the effect of the Lords' judgment in YL v Birmingham earlier this year, which ruled that private care homes do not have to act compatibly with the

Echoing (probably unknowingly, I'm sorry to say) my blog post of a week ago , a group of academics has written an open letter to Andrew Dismore (Chair of the House of Commons Committee on Human Rights) to blow the whistle on some of the claims policy-makers have been making recently about biometrics. Interestingly, the points they raise cover the whole spectrum from technical to implementation and...

Tom Young writes in Computing: The national biometric identity card programme should be suspended until security fears have been eliminated, according to a group of academics. The open letter to Andrew Dismore, Chair of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, refutes chancellor Alistair Darling’s statement that the scheme will increase protection against identity fraud. “These assertions are based [...]...
