Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what links, if any, they and the British Embassy in Pyongyang have to Kim Moon Chul of the Korean Federation for the Protection of the Disabled; whether he has entered the UK; and if so, on how many occasions.

Current and former diplomats at the British Embassy in Pyongyang, and Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials in London, have met Mr Kim Mun Chol on several occasions to discuss the protection and rights of persons with disability in the DPRK and the role of the Korean Federation for the Protection of the Disabled. We understand Mr Kim has visited the UK on a number of occasions, including earlier this year.
