To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to Turkey about the principles of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly on the legal rights of a person charged with an offence. [74621]
Ms Quin

With EU partners we most recently raised this issue with Turkey on 22 February.
