Have Ministers raised their concerns about LGBT rights in Qatar directly with the Qatar Government?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure | Answered on 29/06/2017
The Welsh Government’s interests in Qatar are connected to trade and investment; competence for foreign policy rests with the FCO of the UK Government. The Welsh Government takes LGBT rights very seriously and believes that no one should be denied opportunities because of their sexual orientation; we are committed to ensuring equal treatment for LGBT people in Wales.
