29. Mr. Savidge

To ask the Advocate-General what steps she is taking to inform UK Government Departments of Scottish experience in applying the European convention on human rights since devolution. [118154]

The Advocate-General for Scotland

I have already visited a number of Government Departments to discuss matters, including the Scottish experience of Convention rights, with their legal advisers; and intend to continue to do so. Lawyers in my Department also have frequent discussions at official level with their counterparts in UK Departments on these issues.

30. Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Advocate-General if she will visit The Hague to discuss the operation of the European convention on human rights. [118155]

The Advocate-General for Scotland

At present I have no plans to do so.
