Green has denied the allegations.In a ruling on Tuesday morning, the European court unanimously found that the UK had not violated the European Convention on Human Rights, avoiding a controversial intervention into the rights of Britain’s parliament by judges in Strasbourg. The court found that it should be left to the individual states, and the UK’s parliament in particular, to decide on the controls required to prevent parliamentary members from revealing information subject to privacy injunctions.It added that “to find otherwise would run contrary to the principle of the autonomy of parliament, which had already considered and rejected the need for further controls”.Green did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
