<p>The UK encourages Council of Europe members to engage fully with the recommendations
of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment
or Punishment (CPT). The UK Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe has
intervened in the Committee of Ministers in the past, calling on Member States to
agree to the publication of all CPT reports concerning that State. The UK Government
promotes a general policy of transparency by authorising the publication of the visit
reports and the UK responses thereon, encouraging other Member States to do likewise.
We shall continue to take this approach.</p>
