As has been cited, research conducted by the Fawcett Society indicates that 85% of the …..."

Written Question
Human Rights Act 1998: Scotland
Tuesday 26th January 2016

Asked by: Angela Crawley (Scottish National Party - Lanark and Hamilton East)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans the Government has to seek legislative consent from the Scottish Parliament for the proposed repeal of the Human Rights Act 1998.

Answered by Dominic Raab

This Government was elected with a clear mandate to replace the Human Rights Act with a Bill of Rights. We will bring forward proposals for consultation in due course, and will fully engage with the Devolved Administrations.

It would be premature to comment on the application of the Sewell Convention until the package of legislation is settled.

State Pension Age (Women)

"Absolutely. If there had been more women in the House over the years, perhaps those changes would not have taken place.

Many women expecting to start drawing their state pensions only found out in 2011 that they would face a delay. I acknowledge the hard work of WASPI and its …..."
