answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>I refer to the answer to PQ 3772 - the MoJ does not hold information on the number of states party to the European Convention on Human Rights whose prisons breach any term of the Convention. However, information on states party to the European Convention on Human Rights, whose prisons have caused them to be found to be in violation of the Convention by the European Court of Human Rights, can be found on the Court’s searchable database at:</p><p><a title="http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#%7B%22documentcollectionid2%22:[%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22]%7D http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#{%22documentcollectionid2%22:[%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22]}" href="http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#%7B%22documentcollectionid2%22:[%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22]%7D" target="_blank">http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#{%22documentcollectionid2%22:[%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22]}</a></p><p>Where the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that poor prison conditions in a state party to the Convention breach the requirements of the Convention, the government would seek to find a way to enable the transfer to take place through assurances or other measures to address that issue. We have not yet had to seek such an assurance nor have we refused a transfer based on the grounds that prison conditions breach article 3.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 14/07/2015 10:17:00 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
