HL Deb 23 March 1999 vol 598 cc144-5WA
Lord Bach

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they will publish their response to the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report. [HL1690]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

We are today publishing an action plan setting out how the Government propose that the report's recommendations will be taken forward. For each of the areas covered by the recommendations of the inquiry, the plan sets out the main programme of work, who will have the lead responsibility for taking the work forward and how we will review and assess the outcomes of the work. This is the beginning of the process, and we will revise and develop the plan as the work proceeds. There will be a full day's debate in the House on these issues on Monday 29 March.
