Further to the Answer by Baroness Chalker of Wallasey on 20 March (WA 55), in what respect a review aimed at enhancing the protection of human rights in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands was relevant to the decision taken in January 1986 to end access to the European Commission and Court of Human Rights by individuals complaining of breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights by the public authorities of those territories.
