§ Mr. QuinnTo ask the Minister of State, Lord Chancellor's Department what plans he has to bring forward proposals under the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994. [74953]
§ Mr. HoonIt would not be appropriate to announce any specific deregulation order proposals at this time as they are subject to detailed consultation with all interested parties.
However, I propose to use the contracting out order-making power to facilitate the contracting out of functions relating to the summoning of jurors under section 2(6) of the Juries Act 1974.
