We will scrap it, once and for all.&quot; Railing against judgements from the European Court of Human Rights such as allowing prisoners the vote, Mr Cameron said: &quot;We do not require instruction on this from judges in Strasbourg.&quot; The Conservative party has yet to announce what will be in the British Bill of Rights they plan to replace the Human Rights Act with, although it is thought they will make a statement soon. Until then we don&#39;t know which specific rights Mr Cameron would scrap, and what he would add. We do know that Scotland, confusingly, would be protected from any attempt to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights under devolution laws.
