HL Deb 07 December 1994 vol 559 c89WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the 4th Periodic Report to the Human Rights Committee under Article 40 to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights will be subject to parliamentary debate, and if not, why not.

Baroness Blatch

We have no plans for such a debate.

Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make their 4th Periodic Report to the Human Rights Committee under Article 40 to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights widely available to members of the public, and if so how.

Baroness Blatch

The report is already freely available from the Home Office publications unit, and in the British Library and the other legal deposit libraries.
