HL Deb 21 March 2001 vol 623 c162WA

Lord Acton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether a statement has been made under the Human Rights Act 1998 in connection with the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill. [HL1342]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

I have made a statement under Section 19(1)(a) of the Human Rights Act 1998 that, in my view, the provisions of the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill are compatible with the convention rights. A copy of the statement has been placed in the Library of the House.
