§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the home country report on Pakistan is to be completed and placed in the Library; what steps are taken to ensure the accuracy and completeness of such reports; if such reports are normally made available to those representing appellants at immigration appeals; and if he will make a statement. [21517]
§ Miss Widdecombe[holding answer 18 March 1996]: Our aim is to finalise the report and place it in the Library quite soon. It will also be made available to those concerned with the asylum appeals system. The report, like those on Nigeria and Ghana, will draw on all available, relevant sources of information, and will be updated as necessary.
