answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Sanctions imposed by the EU in respect of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea are designed to deter further escalation of the crisis by imposing a cost to Russia for its negative actions, in the hope of reaching a sustainable solution. Economic sanctions on Russia are having an impact. Capital has flown out of Russia, banks are short of finance, and the Russian stock market and Rouble have fallen significantly. Russia’s behaviour has seen it isolated by the international community, including at the UN and by the G8.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/11/2014 15:27:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	213618
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text We are deeply disturbed by recent reporting from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of allegations of incidents of sexual and gender-based violence in eastern Ukraine. This includes reports of rape or detention of women at check-points and incidents of the abduction of women, by armed groups, whose whereabouts remain unknown. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom has also received reports of a rise in domestic violence and human trafficking across Ukraine. The British Government has been in dialogue with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) around protection concerns, including sexual violence, at collective centres for the displaced and have confirmed that the UK’s £700,000 contribution to the UNHCR to repair housing for the displaced is being complemented by the work of UNHCR protection officers. We have consistently raised our concerns about these issues with partners and we will continue to call on all sides to ensure respect for international law. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/11/2014 15:30:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to reduce cyber stalking.
tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	213624
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The law is clear that what is illegal off-line is also illegal on-line and we have robust legislation in place to deal with internet trolls, cyber stalking <br>and harassment. The government brought in new stalking laws in November 2012 which sends a clear message that those responsible for stalking should be brought to justice. This will also help stop people living in fear and prevent escalation to more serious violence. From April 2013 to March 2014, 743 prosecutions were commenced under the new stalking legislation. This is a significant increase from the 67 prosecutions that were commenced from November 2012 to March 2013 and shows that the legislation is taking effect.<br><br>The government continues to work in collaboration with the College of Policing, the National Policing Lead on Stalking, and the Crown Prosecution Service, amongst others, to further raise awareness of the legislation and promote training to ensure these offences are tackled effectively. In July 2013 the Crown Prosecution Service published guidelines for prosecutors on the approach they should take in cases involving communications sent via social media. The College of Policing also wrote to all Chief Officers in July 2013 with advice on tackling online abuse.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 17/11/2014 17:08:04 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
