HC Deb 25 June 1985 vol 81 c363W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will instruct the United Kingdom High Commissioner in Uganda to compile a report on the human rights situation in that country; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

The recent Amnesty International report, which we are studying with very grave concern, is an important supplement to the regular reports we already receive from our high commissioner.

Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the substance of the report by Amnesty International on the current human rights situation in Uganda, a copy of which has been sent to him.

Mr. Rifkind

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Liverpool, Mossley Hill (Mr. Alton) on 24 June at column318.
