HL Deb 13 May 1999 vol 600 c159WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On how many occasions since the Human Rights Act 1998 received Royal Assent on 9 November 1998 have Ministers discussed collectively when to bring the provisions of the Act fully into force. [HL2179]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Ministers have met on a number of occasions to discuss the Human Rights Act. However, it is established practice under Section 2 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information not to disclose information relating to the proceedings of Cabinet and Cabinet Committees.
