HC Deb 01 December 1958 vol 596 c90W
Mr. Knox Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government has yet supplied a list of candidates for election to the European Court of Human Rights as requested in Recommendation 183, 1958, of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

Her Majesty's Government have selected their three candidates for election to the Court. Their names, however, have not yet been communicated to the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe. Until that happens it would be inappropriate for me to say who the three are.
