answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Since the Written Ministerial Statement in November 2016, neither the main Chagossian leadership nor the Government of Mauritius have engaged actively with the UK Government in the development of a support package for Chagossians in Mauritius. However, as a first step DFID has contracted the British Council in Mauritius to deliver English Language Training (ELT) to the Chagossian community. The British Council ran a series of radio adverts at a cost of £5,444 to gauge interest among the Chagossian community. This is the only spending to date against DFID’s commitment of £20m and is classified as Official Development Assistance. Following this successful campaign, ELT courses started in late August.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 09/09/2019 16:48:05 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
