Briefing on the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill - Get Clued Up Now!!
08-03-2006 08:15

Things like creating new offences punishable by up to 2yrs imprisonment, abolising local government, introducing house arrest, and giving the police greater powers of arrest and interrogation. It could also be used to set up new courts, and in effect re-write the rules on immigration, nationality, divorce, inheritance and the appointment of judges – all without any parliamentary scrutiny...The Iraqi Women Have Arrived.
