As Dialogue Society North we attended the Rights and Responsibilities consultation meeting on 9th November at Hilton Leeds City Hotel. In March of this year, the Ministry of Justice published a Green paper, Rights and Responsibilities: developing our constitutional framework, which started a national discussion on the possibility of a new Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, in addition to the ongoing discussions on a statement of values.

This work is part of a programme of democratic renewal which commenced in July 2007 with the publication of the Green Paper The Governance of Britain. The consultation meeting that took place on 9th November was aimed at discussing these issues with Muslim communities of England.
