HC Deb 01 February 1995 vol 253 cc701-2W
32. Mr. Jessel

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next expects to meet representatives of(a) the Red Cross and (b) Amnesty International to discuss human rights overseas.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary met the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross in October last year and I hope to meet him in Geneva in the margins of my visit to the UN Commission on Human Rights in February. I have no immediate plans to meet representatives from Amnesty International. My right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs met Amnesty representatives in November. FCO officials are in regular contact with Amnesty International.
