Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will discuss with the Government of Turkey the refusal in March 1999 of access to south-east Turkey for a delegation of the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales. [HL2942]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

Her Majesty's Government have not discussed with the Turkish authorities the issue of access of the Bar Human Rights Committee to south eastern Turkey in March 1999; but they understand that this committee visited the region in December 1998, February and May 1999.
