HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 c179W
24. Mr. Sean Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has held with the Chilean Government concerning human rights in Chile; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

As I told the hon. Member for Warrington, North (Mr. Hoyle) on 9 April, we continue to make clear our concern about the Chilean Government's human rights record.

We supported both the resolution at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights of 14 March criticising Chile's record and the EC presidency statement of 18 March expressing concern about restriction of freedoms in Chile.
