uin	HL2090
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The UK Government opted into these Directives, on 22 October 2010 and on 8 March 2010 respectively, and in transposing them into domestic law undertook careful analysis of the state of the existing law and whether any new measures were required to ensure compliance. As a result of this assessment, in England and Wales transposition included several new legislative measures, subsequently approved by Parliament, and the Devolved Administrations made similar arrangements. A full transposition table was provided to the European Commission as is normal practice. As with all Directives, the Government keeps compliance under review.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 22/09/2015 09:41:30 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
