§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will set out the cases in which Her Majesty's Government have been involved in actions brought before the European Court of Human Rights by citizens of the Channel Islands; and what was the outcome in each case.
§ Mr. BrittanI have been asked to reply. 373W No such cases have come before the court. Her Majesty's Government were involved in an application by a Guernsey resident to the European Commission of Human Rights in 1976 concerning the island's housing legislation, but this was subsequently held by the commission to be inadmissible.
