§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the reply of 27 January, Official Report, column 368, to the right hon. Member for Stoke on Trent, South, on what date he intends to publish the information in the Official Report.
§ Mr. EggarPursuant to my reply of 27 January, the information requested by the right hon. Member has now been assembled. Fifty two judgments against signatory nations have so far been given by the European Court of Human Rights. Thirteen cases are pending before the Committee of Ministers. Resolutions have been passed in 34 of the 39 other cases. In view of their length, I am arranging to place the text of these resolutions in the Library of the House. The remaining five cases were all dealt with by the Committee of Ministers before the adoption in 1976 of the rules which provide that their decisions on judgment by the court be embodied in resolutions. In these cases, the committee, after satisfying itself that the Government involved had executed the judgment, "took note" of this action.
