Proceeding contribution from Lord Patten (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 9 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on Christians in the Middle East.


Christians in the Middle East

I thank the noble Baroness for giving way. She has just mentioned Saudi Arabia, and the lack of reciprocity between our practices and theirs. The same is the case with Turkey, which was mentioned earlier in the speech of the noble Baroness. Does she feel that we could or should do more to encourage the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to use the argument of reciprocity as a starting point and not brush it under the carpet?
