answer text <p>The Government created a new, tough City regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to protect customers and ensure Britain’s banks conduct themselves to the highest standards. The FCA has been in contact with Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) regarding the recent IT issue affecting customer payments, and worked closely with the bank to resolve the problem. The payments issue has now been resolved, and the regulator will continue to work with RBS to diagnose and fix the root cause of the problem.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Following the discovery on 1 May of a mass grave in Thailand containing the bodies of Rohingya, and the ensuing humanitarian crisis at sea in South East Asia, the UK lobbied governments in the region to address the urgent humantarian needs of those stranded at sea. In particular, we urged countries in the region to uphold their obligation of rescue at sea for vessels in distress, and to take a coordinated approach to people trafficking.</p><p>On 18 May, I called the Burmese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to press for an immediate humanitarian response and to urge Burma to take part in regional coordination efforts. On 20 May, I met the Bangladeshi Foreign Secretary to stress the need for Bangladesh to work within the region to address people trafficking and irregular migration originating from Bangladesh. Our officials have also discussed the issue with EU partners. Permanent Representatives in New York discussed the crisis in the UN Security Council on 28 May. While the immediate crisis is now receding, we are also pushing for a long term solution to the underlying problems, including the status of the Rohingya and an improvement to the dire socio-economic conditions faced by the Rohingya in Rakhine which is a key driver of their migration.</p>

answer text <p>The exact figure is unknown. From 8,000 migrants originally estimated to be at sea in late May, the latest figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) indicate that around 1,200 to 1,300 remain unaccounted for. It is likely that some of these will have returned, while others may have disembarked without UNHCR or other authorities’ knowledge. We continue to monitor the situation closely and urge countries in the region not to turn away boats in distress.</p> more like this

answer text <p>DFID works across government to contribute to the overall HMG response to these issues and works closely with international partners, including the World Bank and UN agencies. For example, DFID is helping shape the EU’s development spending to effectively address the root causes of migration across Africa and the Middle East. We are also providing technical expertise through the World Bank in Libya to contribute to the political settlement process and are leading the £125 million DFID funded Arab Partnership Economic Programme Facility (APEF). This programme - led by multilateral partners including the World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank and Islamic Development Bank – is helping build more inclusive economies and generate more jobs and opportunities across the region.</p> more like this

The franchise for the referendum is based on the longstanding UK Parliamentary franchise, with the addition of Members of the House of Lords and Commonwealth citizens in Gibraltar. This is an issue of national significance, so it is appropriate that the UK Parliamentary franchise is used.</p> more like this
