To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Turkish counterpart on human rights abuses in that country.
This question was answered on 13th September 2017
​During my most recent visit to Turkey on 16-17 August, I emphasised the need for Turkey to respect human rights, including press freedom and the rule of law. Our officials in Turkey monitor the human rights situation closely and human rights remains a priority for our support to civil society projects there.
