	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they pressed for the case of Raif Badawi to be discussed at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Conference in Jeddah on 3 and 4 June; and if so, what was the response of the government of Saudi Arabia.

	uin	HL422
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2015 answer text <p>The conference was a multilateral event hosted by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and not by Saudi Arabia, and therefore was not an appropriate forum to discuss individual Saudi Arabian legal cases. However, we are extremely concerned about Raif Badawi’s case and have discussed it at the most senior levels in the Government of Saudi Arabia, most recently on 9 June. We await the outcome of the current Saudi Arabian Supreme Court review of the case.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/06/2015 11:25:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	tabling member printed	Baroness Manzoor
	uin	HL434
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2015 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) supports greater dialogue between Sunni and Shia Muslims among all faith groups in the Middle East and North Africa region to build bridges, talk, listen and learn from each other. At the 27 March UN Security Council debate on the persecution of minorities in the Middle East, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), called for bold leadership from governments and communities in the region to continue working for tolerance and reconciliation. Where the British Government is best placed to act, and has the means to do so, we will. For example, in Syria a number of Government-funded projects have brought together religious leaders from all denominations (including Alawi, Christians, Kurds, Druze and Sunnis) to foster greater understanding between faiths and support reconciliation.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/06/2015 11:26:15 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	uin	HL443
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2015 answer text <p>The large number of displaced people in Calais is, in part, a consequence of the Schengen Area, in which the UK does not participate. The maintenance of law and order on French soil is, of course, a matter for French Government, but it is in the UK's interest to work with them to bolster security at the port.</p><p>The Home Secretary and French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve set out a number of commitments in a joint declaration on 20 September 2014 to tackle problems at the port of Calais. This included £12m from the UK Government to help reinforce security.</p><p>We continue to work with the French Government to implement the practical solutions that have been agreed. We are also working to address the wider problem of illegal migration, for example by increasing joint intelligence work with the French to target the organised crime gangs behind people smuggling.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 23/06/2015 15:47:34 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
