question text	To ask His Majesty's Government which of the provisions in the Bill of Rights Bill were recommended by the Independent Human Rights Act Review Panel.
tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL3340
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2022 answer text <p>The Bill of Rights follows careful consideration of the work done by the Independent Human Rights Act Review panel. We are very grateful to the panel for its detailed work. In terms of specific provisions, the Bill of Rights takes forward the recommendation from the Review that remedial orders should not be used to amend the Act itself. The Bill also seeks to increase the prominence of the common law in relation to rights protection, which was a key theme of the panel's report.</p><p><br>More broadly, the Review’s analysis helped inform our approach in those areas of the Bill that were covered by its Terms of Reference, which was narrower than the scope of the Bill of Rights.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 21/11/2022 16:34:01 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
