HC Deb 14 December 1984 vol 69 c628W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government have made representations to the Ethiopian Government about the denial of human rights in Ethiopia.

Mr. Rifkind

We have made continued representations to the Ethiopian authorities about human rights. I raised the issue both with Ethiopian Ministers during my visit to Addis Ababa in July and more recently with the Ethiopian ambassador in London. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development also raised the matter during his visit to Addis Ababa last month.
