United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Lord Roberts of Llandudno Excerpts

Monday 16th December 2013 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Warsi]

My Lords, I have strong views on this, but it may be well beyond the scope of the Question.

[Lord Roberts of Llandudno (LD)]

My Lords, when the Prime Minister visited China recently, did he have an opportunity to talk to the Chinese authorities about the thousands of executions carried out there every year?

[Baroness Warsi]

I am not sure of the specific discussions that took place on human rights but I will write to my noble friend on that point. He will, of course, be aware of the annual dialogue we have with the Chinese where these matters, among other things, are raised.
