Human Rights Task Force (Hansard, 18 May 1999)

HL Deb 18 May 1999 vol 601 c23WA 23WA

§ Lord Lester of Herne Hill
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the results of their departmental audit of laws and practices that may be incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998. [HL2385]

§ Lord Williams of Mostyn
The noble Lord may be referring to a summary of information provided by departments on their initial preparations for implementation. It was prepared for a meeting of the Human Rights Task Force in March 1999 and included a preliminary identification of areas where there was a possibility that convention points could be raised, whether justifiably or not. I have placed the document and a record of the relevant task force discussion in the Library.
