Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G20.

G20

My Lords, I cannot say what the answer was because a wide range of issues was covered in the discussion between my right honourable friend and the leadership in China, but that included an in-depth discussion on human rights. As I said earlier, no subjects were off limits. My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary said at the time of the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize that the decision to award the prize to Liu Xiaobo, "““shines a spotlight on the situation of human rights defenders worldwide””.—[Official Report, 20/10/10, Commons, col. 727W.]"
