HC Deb 08 February 1989 vol 146 c741W
Mr. Tom Clarke

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in the light of the recent report from Amnesty International highlighting the increase in torture of political prisoners, he will make representations thereon to the Philippines Government.

Mr. Eggar

We have no plans at present to do so. President Aquino is committed to democracy and the protection of human rights. Our policy is to support her efforts to fulfil these commitments.
