answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>​As we made clear in a statement alongside Troika partners (US and Norway) on 4 June, we condemn the recent violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful protestors in Sudan, which left many civilians dead or injured. The Foreign Secretary reiterated this in his statement on 6 June, which also called for the full restoration of the internet and freedom of the media. The UK has called for the human rights of all Sudanese people to be respected and for the resumption of the political process with the protestors and the opposition, and an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led government, as demanded by the Sudanese people, in a swift, orderly and peaceful manner. On 6 June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to express the grave concerns of the United Kingdom at the use of violence against civilians by the Sudanese authorities. Also, the UK, through the UN Security Council issued a statement on 13 June that called for the violence to stop and emphasised the importance of human rights, protection of civilians, accountability and justice.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/06/2019 14:38:51 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK continues to engage with a range of opposition, members of the protest movement as well as the Transitional Military Council (TMC). The UK, alongside Troika partners Norway and the US, has called for all sides to engage in an inclusive dialogue that leads to a swift, orderly and peaceful transition to civilian rule. On 29 May our Ambassador delivered this message to Yassir Arman of Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) and encouraged all armed movements to return to Sudan and take part in the talks to agree a civilian-led transition and achieve peace. We have condemned the way that the opposition leaders have since been treated by the TMC since they returned.</p><p>On 4 June in a joint Troika statement, we condemned the recent violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful protestors in Sudan which left many civilians dead or injured. We also expressed serious concern over TMC's announcement that it would cease negotiations and called for an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led government. Our Embassy in Khartoum calls on members of the Transitional Military Council both in public and directly the steps that needed to be taken to improve the situation in Sudan, including the release of all political detainees.</p><p>On 6 June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to express our grave concerns at the use of violence against civilians by the Sudanese authorities. The UK has called for the human rights of all Sudanese people to be respected, the resumption of the political process leading to an agreed peaceful transfer of power to a civilian-led government, as demanded by the Sudanese people. We will continue to engage with all sides to support a settlement that works for all Sudanese people.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/06/2019 14:36:33 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect data on stop and searches from police forces on a quarterly basis and, therefore, we cannot assess trends in the use of Section 60 stop and search in London between January 2018 and April 2019.</p><p>The Home Office is, however, able to assess trends in the use of Section 60 stop and search over annual reporting periods.</p><p>The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on stop and searches conducted by each police force in England and Wales annually. The most recent data was published in October 2018 for the year ending March 2019 as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures, England and Wales’ statisti-cal bulletin, which can be accessed here:<br><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales</a></p><p>In the year ending March 2018, police in England and Wales carried out 2,501 stop and searches under section 60.</p><p>This is quadruple the number of searches under this power in the year ending March 2017 (from 631 to 2,501) but follows a downward trend since a peak of around 150,000 searches in the year ending March 2009. The increase in the use of this power has been driven by uptake in the Metropolitan Police Service in response to high levels of serious violent crime in the capital.</p><p>The next release of these statistics is due to be published in October 2019, for the year ending March 2019.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 09/04/2019 09:21:58 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
