PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Brunei: LGBT+ People (18 April 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of diplomatic sanctions against Brunei as a result of the implementation of anti-LGBT laws by that country.

Asked by:
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)

The British Government does not support calls for sanctions or economic boycotts against Brunei. We believe that open and honest discussions best support our efforts to encourage Brunei to uphold its international human rights obligations, and to respect individual freedoms.
