HL Deb 17 December 1998 vol 595 c187WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have given guidance to government departments about the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998; and, if so, whether they will make such guidance available to the public. [HL323]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

We are drafting guidance for government departments and other public authorities to help them comply with their obligations under the Human Rights Act when it is implemented. The guidance should be ready early in 1999 and will be available to the public.
