answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2018 answer text <p>I regret that due to an administrative error, my previous response initially contained incorrect information. This has been corrected on the Official Report (PQ HL4591) since the question was tabled.</p><p>In fact, the British Council supported one project in Swaziland and one in Lesotho in 2017. In both cases, this was the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP). The CSFP is an annual scheme made available to all the Commonwealth countries by the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission.</p><p>The CSFP is aimed at students of Commonwealth countries who can make a significant contribution to their home country after the completion of a higher education programme in the UK. The British Council provides pre-departure briefings for all scholars on living and studying in the UK, and looks after alumni relations including periodic networking events. The British Council held pre-departure briefings in 2017 and 2016 for scholars from Swaziland and Lesotho.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/02/2018 17:00:25 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL3360
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2015 answer text <p>As the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), said in his press statement on 4 November, the British Government is deeply concerned by recent developments in the Maldives. We believe the State of Emergency declared on 4 November impinged on the basic human rights of the Maldivian people and further undermined confidence in the country’s democracy.</p><p>On 10 November the Maldivian government lifted the State of Emergency. As Mr Swire said in his tweet on 10 November, we welcome the lifting of the State of Emergency and look forward to further positive progress in the Maldives.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/11/2015 16:18:42 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
