HC Deb 09 March 1998 vol 308 c57W
Mr. Howard

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the voting intentions of the Government on United Nations resolutions relating to human rights in China. [33467]

Mr. Fatchett

European Union Foreign Ministers decided on 23 February that neither the Presidency nor Member States should table or co-sponsor a draft resolution on China at this year's Commission on Human Rights, and if the situation arose, EU delegations should vote against a no-action motion.
