§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on human rights in China; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarIn addition to publicly available sources, Her Majesty's embassy in Peking provides regular reports on human rights questions.
We are concerned about human rights in China. Our general aim is to encourage the Chinese Government to continue their programme of economic, social and political reforms, in the belief that in the long run this will lead to the development of a stable and democratic society in China, which is essential for the respect of human rights.
