East Asia

It has come as a relief, after listening in detail to the Minister’s comprehensive response to the debate, to hear him touch on human rights, not least because virtually every hon. Member who has spoken dwelt in some depth on that precise issue. I just want to check that when the Minister says that he will reply in writing to members of the Committee, he does not mean only members of the Select Committee, but all hon. Members present at the debate today. There were a number of specific questions on the very important matter of human rights, on which it would be interesting to see his response.
