§ Lord Lester of Herne Hillasked Her Majesty's Government:
What are their reasons for not ratifying Protocol No. 4 to the European Convention on Human Rights.
92WA
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyThe UK has signed but not ratified Protocol 4 to the European Convention on Human Rights. Her Majesty's Government believes that Article 3(2) of the Protocol could conflict with UK immigration and nationality legislation by giving British Dependent Territories Citizens, British Overseas Citizens, British Subjects and British Nationals (Overseas) a right of entry to the UK that they no longer possess.
The UK therefore has no plans to ratify Protocol 4 to the ECHR.
