Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether it is the Government's policy to support automatic publication of visit reports by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture.
This question was answered on 20th April 2017
The Government has fully considered the recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture following its visit last year. The Committee published its report on 19 April, and the Government’s response will follow.
The practice of successive Governments has to been to permit the publication of the Committee’s reports of its visits, and to encourage other member States to do likewise.
