Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Bill

Explanatory Notes

Compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights

39 Section 19 of the Human Rights Act 1998 requires the Minister in charge of a Bill in either House of Parliament to make a statement about the compatibility of the provisions of the bill with the Convention rights (as defined in section 1 of the Act). However, it is not necessary for ministers to sign a statement under section 19 Human Rights Act 1998 in respect of compatibility with the ECHR if the bill is a private member’s bill.
