answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2017 answer text <p>We are aware of a number of recent reports by human rights organisations indicating the Burmese military has used violence against the Rohingya during security operations in Rakhine since 9 October. We view these reports with deep concern. The Government has repeatedly raised concerns about the plight of the Rohingya community in Burma. I last raised this when I met the Burmese Minister for Construction on 29 November. The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Noble Friend, the Rt Hon. Baroness Anelay of St Johns also raised our concerns with a range of Ministers including the Minister for Defence and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs when she visited Burma from 9-12 November. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Boris Johnson) visited Burma from 20-21 January 2017 and discussed with the Home Minister, who is heavily involved in the security response, the need for a restrained security approach, full humanitarian access and the importance of ending discrimination against the Rohingya. He also raised these issues with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and the new National Security Advisor, U Thaung Tun.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/01/2017 16:06:03 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

tabling member constituency	West Ham

uin	60301
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2017 answer text <p>The Crime Survey of England and Wales estimated that there were 222,000 hate crimes on average each year from 2012/13 to 2014/15. This represents a decrease of 56,000 since the previous period covered by the survey. At the same time, the number of hate crimes recorded by the police rose from 44,471 in 2013/14 to 52,528 in 2014/15. This increase in recorded crime is welcome as it is likely to reflect improved police practice and victim confidence in coming forward to report crimes.</p><p> </p><p>The difference between the crime survey figures and the police recorded figures shows that hate crimes continue to be significantly under-reported. The Hate Crime Action Plan published on 26 July 2016 includes action to increase the reporting of hate crime, including making greater use of third party reporting centres.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 24/01/2017 11:29:53 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
