answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>UK policy, which is fully in line with our international partners including the EU and US, has not changed. We do not, and will not, recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. Russia’s intervention in Ukraine represents a flagrant violation of a number of its international commitments. That is why Russia has been isolated in the Security Council and in the wider international community. Our message to Russia remains constant: return Crimea to Ukraine. Until Moscow does so, it can expect the EU’s Crimea sanctions to remain in place.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/03/2015 16:27:57 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Sanctions imposed by the EU in respect of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea are designed to deter further escalation of the crisis by imposing a cost to Russia for its negative actions, in the hope of reaching a sustainable solution. Economic sanctions on Russia are having an impact. Capital has flown out of Russia, banks are short of finance, and the Russian stock market and Rouble have fallen significantly. Russia’s behaviour has seen it isolated by the international community, including at the UN and by the G8.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/11/2014 15:27:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

uin	213618
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text We are deeply disturbed by recent reporting from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of allegations of incidents of sexual and gender-based violence in eastern Ukraine. This includes reports of rape or detention of women at check-points and incidents of the abduction of women, by armed groups, whose whereabouts remain unknown. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom has also received reports of a rise in domestic violence and human trafficking across Ukraine. The British Government has been in dialogue with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) around protection concerns, including sexual violence, at collective centres for the displaced and have confirmed that the UK’s £700,000 contribution to the UNHCR to repair housing for the displaced is being complemented by the work of UNHCR protection officers. We have consistently raised our concerns about these issues with partners and we will continue to call on all sides to ensure respect for international law. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/11/2014 15:30:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

uin	212291
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text I am grateful for the support that members of the US Congress have shown for Gibraltar and we are working with them to build support for Gibraltar’s right to choose to remain under British sovereignty. The UK has given a firm commitment that we will never enter into arrangements under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the Sovereignty of another State against their wishes. Furthermore we have given an assurance that we will not enter into a process of Sovereignty negotiations with which Gibraltar is not content. The wishes of the people of Gibraltar to remain British must be respected. The UK’s position on sovereignty was reaffirmed most recently in the UN Fourth Committee. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 04/11/2014 15:11:53 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>We do not assess that the protests outside the Ukrainian Parliament on 14 October had any effect on the Ukrainian government’s stability. We welcome the recent parliamentary elections as a further step towards building a democratic society in Ukraine. But there is still work to do. The new government, when it is formed, must press ahead with much-needed political, economic and governance reforms.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 28/10/2014 15:07:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
