	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>We are concerned with the increase of Islamic State West Africa (ISWA) activity in North Eastern Nigeria. Together with international partners, we will continue to support Nigeria and its neighbours to tackle threats to regional stability by ISWA. Regional governments must work together to stabilise areas affected by terrorism and reduce safe havens for terrorists. Humanitarian operations have been placed under pressure and some suspended, cutting off support for up to 120,000 people. We are working with international partners to support contingency planning to protect aid workers, providing strategic military advice, and are reviewing options for additional UK assistance.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/06/2019 13:50:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many individuals are subject to the annual report required under section 32 of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018; and what the nationality is of such individual.
	tabling member constituency	Huntingdon

	uin	256948
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>During the reporting period from 23 May 2018 to 22 May 2019, the government laid 17 regulations under section 1 of the Sanctions Act, including seven regulations with a stated human rights purpose. The government prioritised preparation for sanctions implementation in case of a no deal exit. Specifically, the government prioritised making the necessary secondary legislation to carry over existing EU sanctions into UK law by exit day. In doing so, the government's objective was to ensure that, should the UK have left the European Union without a deal by that date, there would have been no gap in implementing the sanctions regimes which are currently in place in the UK by reason of EU law.</p><p>As the UK has not exited the EU, no designations under the 17 regulations laid during the reporting period have been necessary, as listings under EU sanctions regimes still apply by virtue of EU law. As such, no individuals have been sanctioned under the Sanctions Act.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 04/06/2019 13:53:24 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>We believe that the oversight bodies in Bahrain, including the Ministry of Interior Ombudsman, are structured so that they are able to operate independently from the organisations that they oversee. While these bodies still have more to do, they have already demonstrated their abilities including through the prosecution of more than 90 police officers accused of human rights abuses.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/06/2019 13:53:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
