	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>​We have consistently made clear our concerns to Iran about its ballistic missile programme and the supply of weapons to neighbouring countries. We continue to raise our concerns under United National Security Council Resolutions 2231 and 2216, alongside our French, German, and US colleagues, and work with the relevant UN bodies to support the implementation of these resolutions. The UK Government condemned the Houthi missile attacks on Riyadh on 4 November and 19 December which deliberately targeted a civilian areas. The supply of ballistic missiles to the Houthis threatens regional security and prolonging the conflict. It is essential that the UN investigates this. In his visit to Iran on 9-10 December, the Foreign Secretary pressed his Iranian counterparts to use their influence to ensure that these indiscriminate and dangerous attacks come to an end.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/12/2017 17:52:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the government of the United States' decision to withdraw from the process leading to a UN global compact on migration on its effectiveness in protecting the rights of refugees and migrants.

	uin	HL3939
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>The UK – alongside partners – remains committed to the UN process to develop both a Global Compact on Migration and a Global Compact on Refugees. The decision by the United States to withdraw from the former does not alter the UK Government's commitment to engage fully and work towards the successful delivery of these compacts. We believe that the Global Compact on Migration should offer an effective international framework to ensure that migration is safe and orderly and that it should balance the rights and responsibilities of both states and migrants.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/12/2017 16:26:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
