HL Deb 30 June 1999 vol 603 cc42-3WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Home Office will revise the Turkey country assessment Version 3, issued in March, in the light of criticisms provided by the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture. [HL3236]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

No specific comments have been received from the Medical Foundation on Version 3 of the country assessment on Turkey (March 1999). Consideration was given to comments and recommendations received from the Medical Foundation and others on an earlier version of the assessment and many of these have been incorporated into the current version. The country assessments are revised and updated at six-monthly intervals. The next version should be available in October this year.
