uin	HL6
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2023 answer text <p>The UK condemns the ongoing violence in Sudan, including over recent days in Darfur. Continuing reports of atrocities against civilians there bear all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing. The UK calls upon both warring parties to uphold the commitments they made in the 11 May Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan, and we urge the leadership of the Rapid Support Forces to control their fighters in Darfur and put an end to the atrocities being committed. The UK has called on both sides to de-escalate, refrain from ethnically-targeted violence, and focus on negotiating an end to this conflict.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/11/2023 17:18:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The British Government is committed to implementing the recommendations from the Bishop of Truro’s Review in a way that will bring real improvements to the lives of those persecuted because of their faith or belief. The recommendations have been divided into short, medium and longer term priorities and we have already implemented a good number of them. This includes recently appointing a Director General level champion for Freedom of Religion or Belief and marking Red Wednesday in support of persecuted Christians and members of other minority groups. Some of the recommendations will take longer to implement and many will require an ongoing effort to embed into the working practices of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other departments.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/01/2020 16:10:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	Her Majesty's Government what, when they use it, is their definition of "sleeping rough".
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL6
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>For the purposes of the Department's annual rough sleeping estimates, the definition is as follows: People sleeping, about to bed down (sitting on/in or standing next to their bedding) or actually bedded down in the open air (such as on the streets, in tents, doorways, parks, bus shelters or encampments). People in buildings or other places not designed for habitation (such as stairwells, barns, sheds, car parks, cars, derelict boats, stations, or “bashes” which are makeshift shelters, often comprised of cardboard boxes).<em><em> <br></em></em><br>Nobody should ever have to sleep rough. We have already allocated £30 million of funding specifically to support rough sleepers, including people at risk of sleeping rough, new rough sleepers and those with the most complex needs - our ambition is to halve rough sleeping by 2022, eliminating it by 2027.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 03/07/2017 16:41:45 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
