answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Freedom of religion or belief in Sudan continues to be an area of deep concern to the British Government. Along with international partners, we regularly attend court cases on freedom of religion or belief and raise related cases with the Government of Sudan. Through our project work we also seek to support lawyers who take on cases addressing important human rights issues, such as freedom of religion. More broadly, we also continue highlight our concerns about the conflict in South Kordofan, most recently via a joint statement with our Troika partners on 27 May. We welcome the Government of Sudan’s announcement of a cessation of hostilities on 17 June and urge all sides to respect this.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2016 15:18:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the EU's refugee deal with Turkey, what impact assessment has been made of the impact of that deal on the safety and security of Syrian refugees.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL928
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>The UK strongly welcomes the plan agreed between the EU and Turkey to end irregular migration from Turkey to the EU. For the first time, we have a plan that breaks the business model of the people smugglers by cutting the link between getting in a boat and getting settlement in Europe. The numbers of migrants arriving on Greek islands has significantly reduced since this deal came into effect and it is making a genuine difference to managing the flows of migration; preventing people from dying in attempting the crossing or putting themselves in the hands of smugglers.</p><p>The UK takes the view that Turkey offers sufficient protection, in its law and its practice, to return people there. Turkey is already hosting over 2.7 million Syrian refugees and has granted them access to healthcare, education and the labour market. We are also pleased to note that, since the 18 March EU-Turkey migration deal, Turkey has reached agreements with the European Commission and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in providing them with access to the Düziçi Camp and Kirklareli Removal Centre. The UK continues to work with Turkey to deliver further improvements to their immigration and asylum services.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 14/07/2016 14:38:39 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
