answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>We are exploring options of how best to use our presidency of the UN Security Council to support Martin Griffiths’ efforts. We regularly draft UN Security Council statements showing the Council’s support for the UN-led peace process. On 26 September, the UK co-hosted a political event at the UN General Assembly to coordinate the international community’s support for the UN-led peace process and secured P5 + 3 agreement to a statement that endorsed the Special Envoy’s plan to begin wider political discussions. Our work at the Security Council has helped to corral international support for UN Special Envoy and we will continue to use our role as penholder to support the UN-led peace process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 28/10/2019 14:50:18 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
