International Human Rights Instruments (Hansard, 15 January 2004)

HC Deb 15 January 2004 vol 416 c836W 836W

§ Lembit Öpik
To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs when the Interdepartmental Review on International Human Rights Instruments was due to report to Ministers; when Ministers received this report; when the outcomes of this review will be made available; and if he will make a statement. [147446]

§ Mr. Lammy
The terms of reference for the review were that it should report in spring 2003. The very wide scope of the review, and the number of Departments involved, have caused the review to take longer than expected. We will announce its outcomes to Parliament as soon as is reasonably possible.
