	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text We have raised our concern at the issues surrounding the Rohingya community in all of our recent Ministerial contacts with the Burmese government. Most recently, I discussed this with the Minister for Immigration and the Rakhine Chief Minister during their visit to the UK in October. We have been clear in our communications with the Burmese government that we expect them to adhere to their international human rights obligations regarding the treatment and welfare of those that do not meet the country’s citizenship criteria. While we welcome the limited citizenship verification in Taungpaw for internally displaced people that has seen some individuals from the Rohingya community granted citizenship status, we continue to urge the Burmese authorities to follow a transparent, inclusive and consistent process in establishing the status of inhabitants of Rakhine State. We are also clear that, regardless of citizenship status, the human rights of all individuals in Rakhine must be fully respected. answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 04/12/2014 17:09:35 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

The UNIOGBIS presence in Guinea-Bissau is an asset to political dialogue, strengthening state institutions, supporting security sector reform and combating drug trafficking. We look forward to seeing the recommendations of the strategic assessment mission on reconfiguring the UNIOGBIS’s mandate that will be included in the Secretary-General’s report on Guinea-Bissau in January 2015. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/12/2014 16:13:07 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>We do not use or compile &quot;capitation rates&quot; for the police but do produce estimates of &quot;on costs&quot; for the police which are used in published impact assessments and other analysis. The &quot;on costs&quot; estimate the full hourly cost <br>of using a police officer, this includes not just the wage per hour actually worked but includes expenses, tax payable, pensions, premises, transport, training and other costs. We provide estimates for police community support <br>officers (PCSO), sergeants and below and senior police officers (inspectors and above). The &quot;on cost&quot; of a PCSO per hour is £28.90, a sergeant and below is £36.51 and a senior police officer is £58.79.<br><br>The figures use publically available data from a variety of sources including the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), Office for National Statistics <br>(ONS) and the Metropolitan Police Service. The first step works out the number of annual hours available for work by subtracting absence, training and leave from contracted weekly hours. The second step totals the wage and non-wage <br>costs per head for the three categories of police officer. The total costs are then divided by the number of hours available for work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 04/12/2014 16:42:42 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
