§ Jeremy CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to the Government of Burma concerning human rights abuses and political freedoms. [6773]
§ Mr. BradshawWe take every opportunity to register our concerns through our Embassy in Rangoon and visiting officials although our contacts with the Burmese regime are naturally limited. In addition we regularly make our views known through the EU and also the United Nations. My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary's public statement of 31 August welcomed the continued release of political prisoners and called for urgency to be injected into the process under way in Burma.
