Justice Secretary Ken Clarke says he is close to reaching a deal which would allow British judges to overrule European human rights legislation. Mr Clarke says the agreement would prevent individuals repeatedly challenging deportation rulings, says the Daily Telegraph. Last month Home Secretary Theresa May sparked a row over a man who could not be deported "because he had a pet cat". The judiciary said the cat was not a factor in the man's right to stay, reports BBC.
