Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of possible human rights violations in Hungary; and what steps they are taking to work with EU member states to address any such problem.

The UK plays a leading role in the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law around the world. Our Embassy in Budapest works closely with a wide range of partners in Hungary on this agenda, including with civil society organisations. Whilst the UK remains a Member of the EU, it will continue to take part in discussion of such issues within the EU. When the UK leaves the EU, it expects to maintain its dialogue with its European partners and allies bilaterally on all matters of interest to the UK, including on human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
