MPs warned yesterday that the values enshrined in the magna carta were under threat after the four surviving versions of the famous document went on show in the House of Lords.
This year marks the 800th anniversary of the charter, which was sealed at Runnymede on June 15 1215, and laid the foundations for civil liberties and the rule of law.
Dean of Lincoln Cathedral Philip Buckler said: “In this 800th anniversary year it is good to be reminded of all that has stemmed from this 13th-century agreement to produce the values that we espouse today.
“Many of these values may be under threat in the present climate.”
