Egypt is a human rights priority country for the UK and the UK wants to see more political progress and better protection of human rights for all Egyptians, as set out in Egypt's constitution. The UK regularly raise concerns about human rights with the Egyptian Government both in public and in private. I raised our human rights concerns with the Egyptian Foreign Minister during my visit to Cairo on 14 October 2018.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/01/2019 11:44:41 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
