answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>​We are aware of the findings of the report published in July 2019 by Australian Strategic Policy Institute. To the best of our knowledge, we agree that destroyed settlements have not been rebuilt. While there may have been some minimal reconstruction, it is not on the original sites. We are also aware of the Myanmar military's use of land previously occupied by the Rohingya. We support the view that conditions on the ground are not yet in place to support repatriation of refugees in Rakhine. We are clear that safe and sustainable returns will not be possible until conditions in Rakhine are significantly improved. It is essential that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is given unfettered access to assess conditions.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 03/09/2019 10:24:47 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

We should not speculate on the identity of violent groups until a thorough investigation has taken place. We welcome Carrie Lam’s statement on 22 July saying she has asked the Commissioner of Police to investigate the incident at Yuen Long MTR station fully and pursue the lawbreakers.</p><p>We also note the announcement of a special inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Council into recent events in Hong Kong.
