Context
Following the Human Rights Act review, a commitment to an open consultation on any proposed reforms is sought.
I thank my right hon. and learned Friend for that answer and welcome this review, as I think we all do on our side of the Chamber. However, will he commit to an open consultation on any proposed reforms resulting from the independent review of the Human Rights Act?
I am happy to commit to that open consultation once we have published the findings of the review.
