Asked by:
Ian Murray (Labour)

We are committed to consulting fully on our proposals prior to the introduction of any legislation and will announce further details in due course.

We will adhere to any guidance published by the Cabinet Office in respect of the pre-election periods. We have already sought views and will continue to engage with the devolved administrations to deliver a modernised and reformed human rights framework for the whole of the United Kingdom.
