	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2014 answer text <p>I am concerned to hear that a Pakistan court has upheld the imposition of the death penalty in the case of Asia Bibi. We support the EU’s recent statement on her case and hope that the verdict will be overturned on appeal. We regularly raise at the highest levels the misuse of blasphemy laws against both Muslims and religious minorities. Most recently, I raised this with the Pakistan High Commissioner on 28 October. We will ensure that these issues continue to be raised at the highest levels in Pakistan and we will continue to express our concerns about such cases.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 31/10/2014 12:25:37 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

We share the sense of urgency for a two state solution that delivers an end to the occupation and we are looking carefully at the initiative the Palestinians have laid out. We will continue to engage key partners to consider how best to support the parties in resuming serious dialogue, as we know from past experience that deadlines are no substitute for the political will needed to achieve a negotiated dialogue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/11/2014 15:46:20 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
