Fiona Mactaggart: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to bring into force section 19 of the Human
Rights Act 1998; and in what form statements under that section on compatibility with the convention rights will be published.
[60985]
Mr. Straw: I have made an order under the Human Rights Act bringing section 19 into force on 24 November.
Statements under section 19 will appear as a note on the face of each Government Bill and in the explanatory notes for most Bills.
This will enable anyone obtaining a copy of the Bill in paper or electronic form to see at once the statement.
There may be occasions when a Bill which has been amended at a late stage in the House into which it was first introduced cannot be
accompanied by a statement when it is first printed in the second House. In these situations, a statement will be appended to the
Bill by the time of Second Reading and the circumstances will be explained in a Written Answer.
The statements will be in the following form and will appear on the front page of each Bill:
European Convention on Human Rights Mr. Secretary . . . has made the following statement under section 19(1)(a) of the Human Rights
Act 1998: In my view the provisions of the . . . Bill are compatible with the Convention rights.
or Mr. Secretary . . . has made the following statement under section 19(1)(b) of the Human Rights Act 1998: I am unable to make a
statement that in my view the provisions of the . . . Bill are compatible with the Convention rights but the Government nevertheless
wishes the House to proceed with the . . . Bill.
In the explanatory notes the statement will be referred to as follows:
European Convention on Human Rights Section 19 of the Human Rights Act 1998 requires the Minister in charge of a Bill in either
House of Parliament to make a statement about the compatibility of the provisions of the Bill with the Convention rights (as defined
by section 1 of that Act). On [date] the Secretary of State for . . . made the following statement before Second Reading of this
Bill in the House of [Commons] [Lords]: In my view the provisions of the . . . Bill are compatible with the Convention rights.
or I am unable to make a statement that in my view the provisions of the . . . Bill are compatible with the Convention rights but
the Government nevertheless wishes the House to proceed with the . . . Bill.
