answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2020 answer text <p>The Heywood review of 2014 worked specifically to establish facts about the UK advice and assistance to the Indian Government. It concluded that UK assistance was advisory, ended several months before the operation, and had limited impact on the tragic events that followed. The UK Government has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to challenge the conclusions of the 2014 inquiry or to review the broader decisions of the government of the day.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 29/09/2020 14:41:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams previous answer version 49808 answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2020 answer text <p>The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda is an important component of the UK's work to promote human rights and support sustainable peace processes. In 2020 we celebrate the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325. This Government will mark the anniversary by calling for renewed commitment by the international community to implement all of the WPS UN Security Council resolutions. Our priorities for the anniversary are to promote women's meaningful inclusion in peace processes and increase support and protection for women resolving conflict, countering violent extremism and building peace at the grassroots level. The cross-government National Action Plan on WPS 2018-2022 outlines our WPS strategy. We continue to prioritise preventive diplomacy and mediation through the UN and push for greater collaboration on peacebuilding amongst international organisations. The evidence is also clear that women's meaningful participation in conflict prevention through to conflict resolution is key to securing sustainable peace. We also continue to drive more concerted, coordinated and scaled-up global action across the international system to prevent gender-based violence in conflict settings.</p><p>The Integrated Review and the creation of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are evidence of the Prime Minister's commitment to a unified British foreign policy that will maximise our influence around the world, ensuring the UK is a force for good in the world. When the Prime Minister launched the Integrated Review, he was clear that it will set out the way in which the UK will be a problem-solving and burden-sharing nation. Our aim continues to be for an ambitious and bold Integrated Review that is guided by the UK's foreign policy, national security and development objectives. Gender equality and women's rights will remain a core part of the Government's mission and it is at the heart of the new FCDO.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 24/09/2020 12:11:04 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
