answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2015 answer text <p>We are aware of the request made by two members of the Russian Parliament that this matter be examined, and understand that the Russian Prosecutor-General's office is obliged to do so. We do not assess that there will be any practical consequences of this process; the independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is clearly established. The UK never recognised the annexation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 15/07/2015 12:31:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

tabling member printed	Baroness Goudie
uin	HL1077
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), has not raised this particular issue with the President of Burma. While Burma has undergone a remarkable period of reform since the current government took power in 2011, we remain extremely concerned by allegations of historic human rights violations by the Burmese military. The UK is a strong supporter of the principle that there should be no impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes. Any judgement on whether specific international crimes have occurred is a matter for international judicial decision rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. There are a number of different models for moving on from conflict and ending impunity, and it is for the people of Burma, through their political representatives, to decide on the best model for their country.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2015 13:28:50 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they plan to tighten control of illegal immigration, in particular in the light of recent events at Calais.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL1078
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government is committed to maintaining a safe, secure and effective border. This includes a rigorous system of checks upon arrival. 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 £12 millio 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. On 2 July, the Home Secretary and the French Interior Minister reaffirmed the determination of both countries to strengthen and complete their joint strategy to deal with this common challenge, including by increasing the intervention fund to secure access to the Channel Tunnel. We are also addressing the factors that pull illegal immigration to the UK, through the Immigration Act 2014. The Act puts the law firmly on the side of those who respect it, not those who break it. It does this by stopping migrants using public services to which they are not entitled, reducing the pull factors which encourage people to come to the UK for the wrong reasons, and making it easier to remove people who should not be here.</p><p>The UK is also playing a leading role in pushing for comprehensive, long-term action through the EU and the UN to tackle the causes of illegal immigration and the organised trafficking gangs behind it, as well as increasing support and protection for those who need it in North and East Africa. Above all, we need to break the link between getting on a boat and achieving residence in Europe.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 14/07/2015 13:11:02 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
