House of Commons
London SW1A 0AA

10th May 2006

Dear Mr. Yang,

Thank you for your letter of 18th April 2006 concerning organ trade in China. Please accept my apologies for not replying sooner.

I am aware of this issue having read a number of articles dealing with the subject including those which highlighted representations made to the Chinese government by leading surgeons in Europe.

I am entirely in agreement that the practice of organ harvesting from prisoners is to be wholly condemned. It would be an incredible abuse of human rights if it proves to be true and unfortunately such is the growing evidence that at this stage we have to assume it is true.

The issue was raised in the House of Commons recently during Foreign and Commonwealth Office Question Time. I enclose a copy of Hansard for that day. You will note that the matter has been raised by ministers with Vice-Foreign Minister, Zhang Yesui, just last month and that the government will continue to express concern about human rights and organ harvesting in China.

I hope this reply reassures you that this matter is being addressed.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Illsley MP
Barnsley Central
