Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the statement of the Lord Williams of Mostyn on 19 January (H.L. Deb., col. 1308), when the Isle of Man Government will introduce measures to incorporate the European Convention on Human Rights into Isle of Man law. [HL1424]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

In December last year, the Isle of Man Government announced its intention to introduce legislation to incorporate the European Convention on Human Rights into the law of the Isle of Man. A Bill will be introduced in the House of Keys, when the legislative timetable permits, based upon the equivalent United Kingdom legislation when enacted.
