HC Deb 30 October 1997 vol 299 cc878-9W
Mr. McDonnell

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what plans her Department has to review its policy towards Kenya in respect of its human rights record. [12552]

Mr. Foulkes

My Department will be reviewing Britain?s development assistance programmes, including that for Kenya, in the light of the White Paper on international development. Our future policies towards Kenya will take account of the Kenyan Government?s commitment to poverty eradication, which will include respect of human rights and the rule of law.
