Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask the Government of Turkey to remove their ban on the importation and distribution of the newspaper Ozgur Politika, published in Frankfurt, Germany. [HL479]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

It is not cleat whetherOzgur Politika has been officially banned in Turkey. We understand that the newspaper has never been imported or distributed in Turkey. But we have been informed that it can be read on the Internet by Turkish readers.
