<p>This Government was elected with a mandate to reform and modernise the UK human
rights framework. A Bill of Rights will protect fundamental human rights, but also
prevent their abuse and restore some common sense to the system. <br><br>Our plans
do not involve us leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. That is neither
our objective nor our policy. However, our number one priority is to restore some
balance to our human rights laws, so no option is off the table for the future.<br><br>
We will consult fully before introducing legislation and will bring forward proposals
for a British Bill of Rights in due course.</p>
