§ 45. Mr. DykesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what items have been included on the agenda of the forthcoming bilateral commission on human rights with the Soviets.
§ Mr. MellorFor our part, we propose to discuss freedom of expression, religious tolerance, the right to leave and re-enter one's own country, the political abuse of psychiatry, legal reform and other CSCE-related humanitarian issues. We shall be pressing for recent improvements in Soviet practice to be codified into effective legislation, as well as raising all those human rights cases on our lists which remain unresolved and other individual problems. The Soviet side will no doubt raise aspects of concern to them about human rights in Britain.
