Mr. Goodlad
asked the Secretary of State for Trade on what date he expects the Arbitration Act 1975 to come into force.
Mr. Shore
The necessary action to bring into force the Arbitration Act 1975 is proceeding. It is difficult at this stage to give a precise date, but bearing in mind the 90 days which must elapse after deposit of the United Kingdom's Instrument of Accession to the New York Convention, I expect the Act to come into force before the end of the year.
