	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling the illegal wildlife trade (IWT) and helping to conserve nature and wildlife. Strengthening law enforcement is a key strand of our work. It is one of the topics on which organisations, such as the International Fund for Animal Welfare, can bid for funding from the Government’s Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund. Currently through the IWT Fund and with some additional funding from Defra, the UK is funding Interpol and the International Consortium on Combatting Wildlife Crime, which is an international initiative to help countries strengthen their criminal justice systems and enhance enforcement. The UK has committed up to £4 million to this initiative.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 13/06/2019 15:28:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department for International Development does not have a traditional bilateral aid programme with poverty reduction as the main objective in Indonesia. Instead, the UK Climate Change Unit (UKCCU)’s work in Indonesia is focused on making a difference to a critical global public good – the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p> </p><p>So-called ‘virginity testing’ is cruel and degrading to women forced to undergo it. There is no justification for it. UK government officials have raised this issue with their counterparts in the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 13/06/2019 15:29:41 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
