HC Deb 07 February 1991 vol 185 cc235-6W
21. Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has taken to assure himself that current procedures and practices relating to refugees meet proper human rights and civil liberties standards.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The Government's current review of asylum arrangements is taking full account of our obligations under relevant human rights instruments. I am satisfied that current procedures are wholly consistent with our obligations to refugees under the 1951 United Nations convention.
