Mr. Louis Maguire:

When one goes to any of those countries, one does not get involved in human rights issues. We go there for trade. I have regularly visited 14 Arab countries over the last 40 years. As regards human rights, I have never come across anything. There may be things I do not see - I admit that - but generally speaking the Arab people are peaceful. They have their own rules, laws and religions, which we must respect. One does not get involved in that when one is exporting or trying to trade with them. The Deputy need have no worries on that score.
