Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What subjects they intend to raise with the Chinese representatives at the forthcoming United Kingdom/China Human Rights Dialogue; and whether they will ask how the recommendations made by the United Nations Rapporteur on Religious Intolerance in the report on his 1994 visit to China have been implemented.

The Minister for Trade (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean):

The May round of the UK/China Human Rights Dialogue has been postponed due to SARS. New dates have yet to be agreed.
