answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2014 answer text <p>The abolition of the death penalty is a human rights priority for the UK. Ministers and our Ambassador and Embassy team in Riyadh frequently raise the issue of the death penalty with the Saudi Arabian authorities, bilaterally and through the European Union. We must recognise that total abolition of the death penalty is unlikely in Saudi Arabia in the near future. For now, our focus is on the introduction of EU minimum standards for the death penalty as a first step, and supporting access to justice and the rule of law.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/09/2014 15:00:01 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
