Proceeding contribution from Alan Duncan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 April 2017. It occurred during Urgent question on Persecution and Detention of LGBT Citizens: Chechnya.


Persecution and Detention of LGBT Citizens: Chechnya

The hon. Gentleman makes proper reference to the empowerment fund, for which, I understand, bids are currently in play. Given the election, I imagine that that process will be forestalled slightly, but I am confident that within many of those bids there will be programmes designed for the promotion of human rights in many of the countries at which the fund is directing its efforts.
