HC Deb 23 July 1985 vol 83 c519W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has received any recent reports from the United Kingdom High Commissioner in Uganda about the Ugandan Government's investigation of allegations of human rights violations in that country; if he intends to ask for further reports; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

We receive regular reports from the British High Commission in Kampala about the human rights situation in Uganda and about the action being taken by the Ugandan Government in this regard.

Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further steps he proposes to take to monitor the implementation by the Ugandan Government of an impartial investigation into the allegations of human rights violations in Uganda; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

We have urged the Ugandan government to implement the recommendations of the recent report by Amnesty International; and we understand that arrangements for a visit to Uganda by an Amnesty delegation are being discussed with the Ugandan authorities. We look forward to hearing the outcome of the visit.
