  • Summary

  • Welcome to the final episode of this series of Committee Corridor. 

    In this series of Committee Corridor we’ve been looking at human rights and justice.

    Today, we’re updating you on the different issues we covered: modern slavery in the UK, the forced adoption of the children from unmarried mothers from the 1940s-1970s, plans to reform the Human Rights Act and the critical issues facing the criminal justice system in England and Wales.

    To bring you up to date with work in select committees, we’ll also hear how employment rights are being put to the test. The Joint Committee on Human Rights has launched an inquiry into how far human rights are protected and respected at work.

    Select Committee Chairs, Darren Jones MP and Caroline Nokes MP review how their committees have tackled some of the key issues facing workers today, making for some spirited exchanges in the committee rooms. They reflect on how select committees can get to the heart of critical issues.

    Your host is Joanna Cherry KC MP.
