The Inspection of Places of Detention Bill is the vehicle which the Government will use to implement the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT).
As I indicated in my response to the Deputy's Parliamentary Question No. 102 of 4 April (last week) in relation to OPCAT, my Department are in the process of completing a draft scheme of this Bill which I intend to share with key stakeholders for their observations before it is finalised and I bring it to Government for approval later this year.
