HL Deb 12 May 2003 vol 648 c5WA
Lord Acton asked Her Majesty's Government

When the quinquennial review of the Law Commission is due to report. [HL2817]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

John Halliday CB submitted the report of his independent review of the Law Commission on 31 March 2003. The report praises the high quality of the commission's work while making a number of recommendations aimed at further improving the effectiveness both of the commission itself and of the overall law reform process. The Lord Chancellor welcomes the thrust of his recommendations and has asked the Ministerial Committee on the Law Commission, which I chair, to oversee the action taken on the report.

Copies of the report have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and will be available on the Lord Chancellor's Department's website (www.lcd.gov.uk).
