Lib-dem - Conservative coalition agreements

The coalition comitments between the Conservative and Liberal democrat parties have just been published: here - This idea of a Great Repeal bill has cropped up a few times this morning. There are some hopes for it to be the first wiki-bill. It would put a hell of a lot of things in a single bill, and not all of it is civil liberties inspired - on that page there's a lot of 'this burdens business' too.

"The parties agree to implement a full programme of measures to reverse the substantial erosion of civil liberties under the Labour Government and roll back state intrusion.

This will include:

• A Freedom or Great Repeal Bill.
  
  
• The scrapping of ID card scheme, the National Identity register, the next generation of biometric passports and the Contact Point Database.
  
  
• Outlawing the finger-printing of children at school without parental permission.
  
  
• The extension of the scope of the Freedom of Information Act to provide greater transparency.
  
  
• Adopting the protections of the Scottish model for the DNA database.
  
  
• The protection of historic freedoms through the defence of trial by jury.
  
  
• The restoration of rights to non-violent protest.
  
  
• The review of libel laws to protect freedom of speech.
  
  
• Safeguards against the misuse of anti-terrorism legislation.
  
  
• Further regulation of CCTV.
  
  
• Ending of storage of internet and email records without good reason.
  
  
• A new mechanism to prevent the proliferation of unnecessary new criminal offences."
