2  Bills not requiring to be brought to the attention of either House on human rights grounds

Government Bills

2.1 We consider that the following Government bills do not raise human rights issues of sufficient significance to warrant us undertaking further scrutiny of them:

  • Perpetuities and Accumulations Bill; and
  • Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill.

2.2 We wrote to Baroness Andrews, Parliamentary Under Secretary for State on 10 February 2009, raising some human rights issues related to local authorities and local democracy.[29] She replied on 23 March 2009.[30] We publish this correspondence with this Report to inform parliamentary and wider public debate.
