HL Deb 18 June 1999 vol 602 c60WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Jay of Paddington of 27 May (WA 102), whether the reference to the examination of legislation by the proposed joint committee on human rights includes secondary legislation. [HL2779]

The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington)

As I have said in previous Answers, no decision has yet been taken about what terms of reference to propose to both Houses. Until the terms of reference appear on the Order Paper, I cannot be more precise about what will be included.
