Report from the parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights: Committee report, HL 130, HC 828 (pdf)

"The Committee repeats its previously stated view that it regards it as unacceptable that amendments having obvious implications for human rights should be introduced at such a late stage in a Bill’s passage through Parliament, without adequate warning and without a clear explanation of the Government’s view of the human rights implications. Such a practice undermines proper democratic scrutiny of the human rights implications oflegislation."
