HL Deb 18 May 1999 vol 601 c23WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether their departmental audit has identified any laws or practices which should be changed before the Human Rights Act 1998 is brought fully into force; and, if so, what are those laws or practices. [HL2386]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Departments continue to review their legislation and procedures for compatibility with the convention rights. Individual departments are responsible for initiating any necessary action should convention points be identified. It is not possible at this stage to say what, if any, new legislation Parliament will be asked to consider.
