Dear Jane,

LETTER FROM ANDREW BYRNES: CEDAW

Telephone: 071-

ра

CEDAW

1.

I expect you will already have seen the attached letter. With regard to the question in the third paragraph about CEDAW, I'm afraid I have no idea what our current line is: presumably that the matter is "under consideration"? HRPD inform me that they have yet to reply to the Committee, but it would be useful if I could say something more substantial than that to Andrew Byrnes.

Cheer
