The countering of threats against Disney, the BBC and other agents who report on what is said in China is vitally important. The Minister did not deal with the question that arose in relation to the BBC during the debate. I hope that he may see fit to write to those who mentioned it and place a copy of the letter in the Library. If the Chinese read this debate, they can be under no illusion that your Lordships and the British people as a whole take the question of human rights in China and Tibet immensely seriously. They want to see China take her rightful place in the world community and assume the role of leadership to which it is fully entitled by its distinguished history and its size in terms of geography and population.
China can do that only if it conforms to international rules which guide the rest of the world.
I hope that the House will have made a small contribution towards ensuring that that takes place. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion for Papers. Motion for Papers, by leave, withdrawn. My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. It was thought that those acts were too violent for an audience to watch in any sort of detail.
