Each proposal is accompanied by specific consultation questions. The government are welcoming responses on those questions. Submissions which do not focus on the questions but deal with the subject of the Human Rights Act more generally are also welcome. To help the government take full account of all potential impacts, including equality impacts, they are completing a full Impact Assessment as necessary, once they have considered the responses to the consultation. They welcome responses from consultees on these proposals with regard to the potential impacts. Closing date 8 March.
