HC Deb 30 November 1998 vol 321 cc88-9W
Mr. Andy King

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government plans to make to the Pakistan Government following the murder of a family of nine Christians in Nowshera Peshawar. [61003]

Mr. Fatchett

We and our European Union partners regularly urge the Government of Pakistan to protect the rights of religious minorities in their country, most recently at a meeting between Pakistan and the EU Troika on 25 November.
