Tory British Bill of Rights commissioner resigning

One of the government's commissioners examining whether a British Bill of Rights is needed has told BBC One's Sunday Politics show he is resigning.

Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky claims the commission is deliberately ignoring the wishes of Prime Minister David Cameron.

He told host Andrew Neil he had no alternative, as it was "so important" to make human rights "consistent with parliamentary sovereignty".

The government said it was aware the commission had "internal difficulties".
