Civil liberties are the foundation of a free society in which you are able to fulfil your potential.

Liberal Democrats  in government are protecting your rights and restoring hard-won freedoms. That’s why we have:

Scrapped the expensive and unnecessary ID cards system proposed by Labour

 
Ended the permanent storing DNA of innocent people

 
Stopped children being fingerprinted in schools without parental consent

 
Restored the right to protest outside Parliament

 
Reformed the bureaucratic criminal record checks for ordinary people who want to volunteer

Banned wheel-clamping on private land

 
Stopped the Conservatives from getting rid of the Human Rights Act
