Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in view of the letter from the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland of 24 March 1999 asking for advice on a Bill of Human Rights for Northern Ireland and indicating that there was no time limit, they consider the consultation period of less than three months set by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission to be adequate; and, if so, why. [HL1529]

I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave on Tuesday 27 November(Official Report, col. WA21).
