asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the main provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 will be brought into force. [HL2546]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

We plan to bring the remaining provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 into force on Monday 2 October 2000. Some provisions principally those of Section 19 relating to statements by Ministers of the Crown about the compatibility of Bills with the convention rights, are already in force.
