On 25 April the Baroness-in-waiting, Baroness Goldie, committed that these statements would be made available to Parliament before any SI which creates a criminal offence is laid before Parliament. The mechanism for ensuring this has been agreed and, in line with that commitment, I am making this statement to inform members that those statements will be deposited, before the SI is laid, in the Libraries of both houses where they will form a document series deposited under the commitment in this statement.</p>","house":"Lords","noticeNumber":0,"hasAttachments":false,"hasLinkedStatements":true,"linkedStatements":[{"linkedStatementId":934027,"linkType":"JointStatement","linkDate":"2018-07-03T00:00:00"}],"attachments":[]},"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"/Statements/934570","method":"GET"}]}
