To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which (a) Acts and (b) parts of Acts which received Royal Assent between 1976 and 2006 which remain in force for which his Department has policy responsibility. (69148)

I have placed in the Libraries of the House a list of Acts which received Royal Assent between 1976 and 2006 for which the Home Office had policy responsibility at the time of Royal Assent. Some of these Acts have been amended or repealed in whole or part, so not all of their provisions remain in force. Nor are all of these Acts still within the policy responsibility of the Home Office. It is not however possible to provide a definitive list of the provisions which remain in force and which are within the policy responsibility of the Home Office without incurring disproportionate cost.
