§ Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress the special representative of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights has made with his study of the situation in Iran.
§ Mr. LuceThe special representative, Mr. Andres Aguilar, was appointed on 19 October 1984, and is due to present his report to the 41st session of the United Nations 315W Commission on Human Rights which will meet in Geneva from 4 February to 15 March 1985. Mr. Aguilar has not yet been able to visit Iran because the Iranians have not responded to appeals for their co-operation in this respect. If he is unable to visit Iran before February, his report will rely on information received from Governmental and non-governmental organisations on the human rights situation in Iran.
