Whether they will seek to ensure that the European Commission maintains up-to-date legal electronic data regarding implementation of directives by the United Kingdom on the Celex database. [HL704]

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Irvine of Lairg)

The European Commission maintains up-to-date legal electronic data concerning implementation of directives by all member states in Sector 7 of the Celex database. It is the practice of Her Majesty's Government to notify the Commission, via the United Kingdom's Permanent Representation to the European Union, of the implementation of relevant directives in domestic legislation.
