HL Deb 19 October 1995 vol 566 c100WA
Lord Finsberg

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is their intention to sign the Council of Europe Charter for Regional or Minority Languages which was opened for signature in 1992.

Lord Lucas

Government departments which have an interest in this charter are still considering carefully its implications for the United Kingdom. We hope to come to a decision soon. I will write to the noble Lord when a decision is reached and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
