HL Deb 11 June 1996 vol 572 cc162-3WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the findings made by the European Commission of Human Rights in their report of 26th September 1958 in Application No. 176/56 Greece v United Kingdom; and

Further to the Answer given by Baroness Chalker of Wallasey on 16th May 1996 (col. WA 63), whether they will give their reasons for continuing to withhold their consent to the publication of the report of the European Commission of Human Rights of 26th September 1958 in Application No. 176/56 Greece v United Kingdom.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The FCO is not withholding its consent to the release of the report in question. But the report is not held in the FCO archives. We must make further searches in the Public Records Office before we can give a full Answer to the Question.
