HC Deb 02 May 1990 vol 171 c562W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the British Government's response to the decision of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the case involving the hon. Member for Peckham (Ms. Harman) and Ms. Patricia Hewitt.

Mr. Waddington

The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has yet to adopt a resolution in this case. Until it does so, its decision remains confidential and I am unable to comment.
