Statement informing the House that a proposal for a draft remedial order has been laid
Remedial orders are a type of statutory instrument. Under the Human Rights Act 1998, courts can declare Acts of Parliament incompatible with the European convention on human rights. The Government can use remedial orders to amend Acts to remove the incompatibility. A minister formally presents (or ‘lays’) a proposal for a draft remedial order. The Minister may also make a statement to both Houses informing them that a proposal has been laid.
The statement will appear on the day of laying. It may appear as a written statement or statement made on the floor of the House. It will be duplicated in the second House.
