To that end, we welcome the announcement by the UN Secretary General on 6 June that the United Nations and the Saudi-led Coalition will review jointly the cases and numbers cited in the text. In parallel, we continue to urge all parties to the conflict to take all reasonable steps to ensure civilians, particularly women and children, are protected in Yemen, and to allow and facilitate rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Sir Desmond Swayne question first answered 30/06/2016 14:34:46 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
