The UK continues to raise these issues with the government of Burma at every available opportunity.</p><p>The UK does not provide funding directly to the Government of Burma.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 20/03/2017 17:21:21 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
