Lib Dems seek mass repeal of Labour's laws and a Freedom Bill

The Liberal Democrats have called for a mass repeal of 10 parliamentary acts passed by Labour since 1997. A "Freedom Bill" sets out plans to abolish ID cards, control orders for terror suspects and to end extradition to the US "without proper evidence". The Lib Dems also pledge to end the storage of DNA details of people never charged or convicted of crimes. Party leader Sir Menzies Campbell says Labour is addicted to making laws and has created "legislative madness". The government has passed 365 acts and 32,000 Statutory Instruments - rules and regulations made by ministers - since 1997. This equates to seven full editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
