HC Deb 09 February 1994 vol 237 cc283-4W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will provide an English translation when he deposits in the Library statements made by other states speaking on behalf of Her Majesty's Government in other languages.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

It is not our usual policy to deposit statements in the Library that are not in English.

When documents in other languages are deposited they are used to provide a translation and such translations are deposited as soon as they are available.
