answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>As the Minister for Europe and the Americas said in his response to the urgent question on this issue on 11 January, we strongly condemn Mr bin Haydara's death sentence, and the continued persecution of Baha'is in Yemen for their religious beliefs. We were informed of Mr bin Haydara's sentence on 2 January, via the Baha'i community in London, and I met with the leader of the Baha'i community on 25 January. We continue to work closely with our partners, including the European Union, to raise this issue directly with the de facto authorities in Sana'a, and have sought to raise the profile of Mr bin Haydara's situation through public diplomacy.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/01/2018 16:29:47 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>We are very concerned about the persecution of Baha'is in Yemen, particularly in areas controlled by the Houthis and forces aligned to the late former President Saleh. The immediate release of all Baha'is in Yemen imprisoned for their religious beliefs was a key demand in the September United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution, which we supported. We will work closely with all partners to ensure its full implementation. We are in close contact with the Baha'i community in London regarding Mr Haydara's case and the wider situation of Bahai's in Yemen. I met with with representatives of the Baha'i community on 18 January to discuss this and other cases.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/01/2018 16:33:50 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2018 answer text <p>Work is currently underway in Westminster Hall to complete phase three of the conservation programme. This includes: the refurbishment of the lantern; removing the extensive dust deposits from the roof timbers; minor repairs to the interior of the roof to stabilize decorative elements and tracery; fire protection improvements; and new lighting.</p><p>The principal contractor for the programme is Mitie, who have in turn subcontracted the refurbishment of the lantern, cleaning of dust deposits and the minor repairs to the heritage and conservation specialists, DBR Limited. The programme of work is supervised by heritage architects Donald Insall Associates.</p><p>There is a large body of academic material on the Hall already available, with principal studies conducted between 1854 and 2016. Both information from this, together with extensive condition surveys, have been used as the basis for the specification for the current work and any further survey in this regard would be of no evident value to Parliament. It should be noted that the roof is an example of ‘standing archaeology’ – that is, it will be accessible for the foreseeable future as it has been in the past. The obligation to record the repairs and to deposit the records in the archives will be undertaken by the consultant conservation architect (Donald Insall Associates), specialist conservators, the in-house Architecture &amp; Heritage team and Historic England. This information will be made available to interested parties and therefore no further archaeological supervision is necessary.</p><p>I have sent the hon. Lady a copy of the list of references to studies of the roof, and placed a copy in the Library.</p> answering member constituency Carshalton and Wallington answering member printed Tom Brake question first answered 25/01/2018 14:54:36 answering member 151 label Biography information for Tom Brake attachment 1 file name References-to-studies-of-Westminster-Hall-Roof.pdf title References to studies of Westminster Hall Roof
