HL Deb 08 May 1996 vol 572 cc12-3WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the report which has been made by Mr. Rajindar Sachar, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on promoting the realisation of the right to adequate housing, as a result of the two-year study on this issue requested by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in its Resolution 1993/103; and whether they will outline the work done by the Special Rapporteur since then.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The Special Rapporteur produced two progress reports and a final report, which have been submitted to the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The Sub-Commission has urged the Preparatory Committee for the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat), to take full account of the views contained in his final report. The progress reports and the final report will be placed in the Library of the House.
