Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when the report of their review of the Human Rights Act 2001 will be published.

In line with our manifesto commitment, the Government plans to overhaul the Human Rights Act (HRA) to make sure it meets the needs of the society it serves and commands public support.

The Government established the Independent Human Rights Act Review to examine the framework of the HRA, how it is operating in practice and whether any change is required. We have received the Panel’s report and are carefully considering its conclusions as part of a wider reform programme. We will publish the Panel’s report imminently and will consult on any proposed legislative changes.
