(276)  SUPREME COURT: THE LAW LORDS’ VIEWS

The Law Lords have published on the Internet their response to the Government’s Consultation Paper on a Supreme Court for the United Kingdom, proposing the replacement of the House of Lords and the devolution jurisdiction of the Privy Council (see http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/JudicialSCR271003.pdf ).  Notable amongst the majority of the Law Lords who are opposed to the replacement of the present arrangements with a Supreme Court are the Scottish Lords, Lord Hope of Craighead and Lord Rodger of Earlsferry.
