HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 cc593-4W
28. Mr. Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he proposes to implement in full the recommendations of the Baker report on the operation of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act.

Mr. Scott

A number of the recommendations in Sir George Baker's report have already been implemented, some by means of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978 (Amendment) Order 1985 which came into force on 21 January 1986. It remains the intention of the Government to put legislative proposals before the House during the lifetime of this Parliament which would give effect to those recommendations which we have accepted and which would require the further amendment of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978.
