<p>I remain concerned about reports of human rights abuses in Pakistan. We regularly
raise our concerns, including those reflected in the Universal Periodic Review's recommendations
for Pakistan, with the Government of Pakistan at a senior level.</p><p>During his
visit to Pakistan in March, the former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs, my Right Hon Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond),
