Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government why only three peers were appointed to the 13 strong delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

The process for nominating representatives to serve on the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Delegation is a matter for individual political parties. It is well precedented and not unusual for three Peers to be appointed as full members to the OSCE Parliamentary delegation. During the 2015-17 Parliament, three Peers were appointed as full members to the delegation and one Peer as a substitute member. In the current Parliament, three Peers have been appointed as full members and two as substitute members.
