NOTICES RELATING TO PRIVATE BUSINESS DEPOSITED ON
THURSDAY 24th JANUARY 2008 Ministerial Reports
Under SO169A (Reports concerning human rights)
| |||||||||||||||||||||
- Angela Eagle, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, HM Treasury, has made the following report:
-
‘I believe that the promoters of the Northern Bank Bill have undertaken a full assessment of the compatibility of their
proposals with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and I see no need to dispute their conclusions.
-
In considering their assessment, the Parliamentary Agents have provided the following points of clarification:
-
· the reference in their assessment to “Articles 6 to 18” of the ECHR should have been a reference to “Articles 16 to 18”;
-
· the reference to Articles 1 and 2 of the Sixth Protocol should have been a reference to Article 1 of the 13th Protocol; and
-
· in relation to the assessment of compatibility with Article 1 of Protocol 1, consideration has been given to Danish insolvency
law and the banks concerned (Northern Bank and its parent, Danske Bank) are satisfied that Danish insolvency law provides
at east the same level of protection as Northern Ireland insolvency law.’
