Today’s message from the Scottish Government's Programme for Government that a Scottish Human Rights Bill is not on the agenda nor a priority is deeply disappointing and a breach of trust. The Bill, due to be introduced by June 2024, has been inexplicably delayed again.

We welcome pledges on social care charges and rights mainstreaming in the Scottish Government Programme for Government but are extremely disappointed at the absence of the Human Rights Bill. Read the ALLIANCE's Chief Officer Sara Redmond's full statement: alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/news/alli…

NEWS: The Scottish Government has failed to deliver the Human Rights Bill in its Programme for Government. This is unacceptable, unjustifiable, and represents the breaking of a promise to people and communities across Scotland. Ministers must think again.
