LGBT Rights (Uganda)

Proceeding contribution from Pamela Nash (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 April 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on LGBT Rights (Uganda).

I agree, and that point has been raised with me by businesses and non-governmental organisations. In recent weeks, I have been speaking to businesses working both in Uganda and more widely. I shall say more later about some other countries that are implementing similar legislation as we speak. I chair a group that is organising visits to certain countries, and we are looking at visa applications and online biographies of Members of both Houses. Given that some of them are gay, we must consider whether they will be at risk if they visit those countries, and we must think about what we should do to protect our own colleagues in such circumstances.
