§ Mr. Allen McKayTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps are being taken to persuade the Sudanese Government to allow human rights and freedom of worship to prevail in Sudan.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe take every opportunity to impress on the present Government of Sudan the need for 457W all the people of Sudan to enjoy a full range of human rights. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development last did so on 18 April when she saw the country's Finance Minister. Regrettably, none of the representations made to the Sudanese authorities have so far borne fruit. Sudan's record on human rights remains deplorable.
