§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will place on the agendas of the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe the issues raised in the recent report of the Russian Presidential Human Rights Commission.
§ Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:The points raised in the report will as a matter of course be addressed by the Council of Europe in such contexts as their Russia programmes, as part of their monitoring procedures, and during forthcoming visits to Russia. We have no plans to raise the report separately with the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, given the Council of Europe's specific expertise in this area.
