tabling member constituency	Bradford East
tabling member printed	Imran Hussain
uin	247087
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>​The UK has been clear, as has the UN Security Council, that Burma must create the conditions in Rakhine to allow the Rohingya to return safely, voluntarily and with dignity. We agree with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees that these conditions do not yet exist. UN agencies also do not have the access they need to provide independent monitoring of any returns. The UK was deeply concerned when Bangladesh and Burma announced that the repatriation of refugees to Burma would begin in November 2018. We raised our concerns at the highest levels with both Governments, stressing that returns should not commence while conditions in northern Rakhine remain as they are. We welcome Bangladesh's commitment to the principle of &quot;voluntariness&quot; and were pleased that repatriations did not commence in November 2018. We will continue to make representations to the Governments of both Bangladesh and Burma not to commence returns until suitable conditions exist in northern Rakhine.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/05/2019 15:02:51 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
