We want to ensure the best possible outcome for Britain and the future UK-EU relationship. The Prime Minister has said she will not trigger Article 50 until we have a UK approach and objectives, and Article 50 should therefore not be invoked before the end of this year.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 27/07/2016 10:08:29 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2016 answer text We are deeply concerned by the deterioration in the security situation in South Sudan. We condemn the fighting in Juba between government and opposition forces. These actions are entirely unacceptable. It is now vitally important that President Kiir and First Vice President Machar ensure their troops respect the recent ceasefire statements and avoid any further acts of violence. The former Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Rochford and Southend East (James Duddridge) made statements on 9, 11 and 14 July calling for an immediate end to all violence and protection for all South Sudanese civilians. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/07/2016 16:23:58 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2016 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by the deterioration in the security situation in South Sudan. This will make it even harder for aid to reach the millions of South Sudanese displaced from their homes and the almost 5 million, nearly half the population, at risk of severe food insecurity. The UK is taking a lead role. We have contributed £242million to the humanitarian crisis since the outbreak of conflict in December 2013, along with an additional £93million to support South Sudanese refugees in the region. But ultimately the South Sudanese leaders must take responsibility for respecting the ceasefires and protecting their people.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 15/07/2016 10:40:51 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
