The European Convention of Human Rights is a separate organisation to the EU. We'll still be part of it if we leave the EU, is there a proposal to leave the ECHR as well? The membership of the ECHR is much larger than the EU and encompasses pretty much every other European nation.

Also when he says we can leave does that mean there is a stipulation that EU members have to also be a member of the Council of Europe?
