Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 15 June (HL535), what progress the Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues (1) has made, and (2) plans to make in the next six months, to (a) represent the UK in Holocaust commemorations, including anniversary commemorations in the UK and across Europe as appropriate, (b) regularly lobby European states where there is no restitution process to implement the Washington Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art and its associated best practice guidelines, and (c) undertake six visits in support of post-Holocaust issues objectives.

I refer the Noble Lord to the answer he referenced in his question. As I said in that answer, we will confirm further details of the Envoy's work in due course.
