Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Tuesday, 28 June 2011.
Turkey
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Howell of Guildford on 6 June (WA 75), why they do not plan separate bilateral representations, in addition to European Union statements on the freedom of the media in Turkey.
- Answer
-
The Minister for Europe, my right honourable friend the Member for Aylesbury (Mr Lidington) raised freedom of the media in Turkey in his meeting with the Turkish Minister for European Affairs, Egemen Bagis, on 31 March 2011. The UK Government continue to support efforts urging Turkey to fulfil its Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe commitments on media freedom. It is not general UK Government practice to comment on individual judicial processes, but we expect high legal and judicial standards to be observed throughout.
