9 Private
Members' Bills
9.1 We consider that the following Private Members'

Convention rights and do not require to be drawn to the attention
of either House on human rights grounds:

c) Christmas Day (Trading) Bill,[46]
d) Gangmaster (Licensing) Bill,[47]

9.2 The Human Rights Act 1998 (Making of Remedial
Orders) Amendment Bill [HL][53]
would enhance protection for human rights by allowing legislation
which has been held by a court to be incompatible with a Convention
right under the Human Rights Act 1998 to be more speedily amended
by way of a remedial order, as explained in the letter from our
Chair to the Leader of the House of Lords, reproduced as Appendix
7 below.
