Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alan Mak and Lord Hammond of Runnymede

Tuesday 12th July 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Philip Hammond]

We regularly make representations to the Government of Iran about the widespread abuse of human rights there, including the widespread use of the death sentence and the completely unacceptable practice of imposing death sentences on minors. We will continue to make such representations at every opportunity.

[Mr Alan Mak (Havant) (Con)]

Commonwealth countries are already large investors into the UK. Will the Government continue to work with Commonwealth business groups, such as the Confederation of Indian Industry, to make sure that that track record continues?
