Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Ministry of Defence's Homosexuality Policy Assessment team assessed the prospects of Her Majesty's Government's success in defending the Ministry's current policy on homosexuality before the European Court of Human Rights; and if so, whether they will publish the results of that assessment.

Earl Howe

In accordance with its terms of reference, the Homosexuality Policy Assessment Team was required to undertake an internal assessment of the current policy. The report of that assessment was placed in the Library of the House on 4th March.
