Human Rights Act 1998 (Meaning of Public Function) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to clarify what counts as a 'public function' under the Human Rights Act 1998. Currently, it's unclear whether private organisations providing public services (like private hospitals or care companies) must follow human rights law. The bill would tighten the definition, potentially meaning fewer private organisations would have to follow these rules.

Presented by Mr Andrew Dismore.
