HC Deb 15 January 1996 vol 269 c408W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those countries to which his Department has made representations concerning human rights abuses during the past five years. [8568]

Sir Nicholas Bonsor

During the period in question, we have regularly made representations—either bilaterally or with our European partners—to a large number of other Governments concerning human rights abuses. Details of such representations over the past five years could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
