answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2016 answer text <p>The UK Government is opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances as a matter of principle. We have serious concerns about the process by which Mr Andargachew Tsege was transferred from Yemen and his ongoing lack of access to a lawyer. The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) has raised Mr Tsege's case 21 times with his Ethiopian counterpart. I have also raised this case, most recently on 8 January. We continue to lobby for Mr Tsege to be granted access to a lawyer.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 13/04/2016 14:02:29 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
