HC Deb 04 February 1959 vol 599 c69W
109. Mr. Knox Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made by the Committee of Ministers with regard to Recommendation 185 (1958) of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe; and if he will make an interim statement.

Mr. R. Allan

The Recommendation has not yet been considered by the Ministers' Deputies. Her Majesty's Government are not members of the International Commission on Civil Status and have not, therefore, signed the two Conventions mentioned in the Recommendation.
