§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action his Department is taking to ensure that India respects the human rights of people who are now living in the Indian occupied area of Kashmir before any aid allocation to India is considered; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe importance we attach to "good government" when considering our aid programme is well known. While we support the Indian Government's efforts to deal with the serious challenge from terrorist violence in Kashmir, we have regularly made clear to them our concern that human rights must be respected.
