HC Deb 24 July 1991 vol 195 c641W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the areas on which Her Majesty's Government are currently disbursing funds in support of its foreign policy on human rights.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Human rights are taken into account when allocating aid to developing countries. Certain of the positive measures on good government in the aid programme are designed to increase respect for human rights and the rule of law. Specific measures from this and other programmes include legal assistance, electoral assistance, inward visits, assistance to the media and seminars both abroad and in the United Kingdom.
