§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Saudi Government about the religious persecution of Florencio Madriaga and Roque Atilon.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe are aware of these cases but have no specific information about them. We and our EC partners seek opportunities to discuss human rights, including freedom of worship, with the Saudi authorities, who can be in no doubt of the strength of our views on this issue. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs last did so during his visit to Saudi Arabia last month.
