Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.

Human Rights

The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee was not here for the earlier debate on India, which lasted for one and a half hours. Apparently, we now have only one and a half hours to debate human rights. Will he use his good offices as Chairman to ensure that, in future years, we have a full day's debate on international human rights? It is simply not good enough for the British Parliament to spend one and a half hours a year on international human rights.
