	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>I am concerned by reports of threats against the LGBT community in Tanzania. The British High Commission, alongside international partners, carried out a demarche on the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 2 November, urging the authorities to respect human rights and protect all citizens from discrimination. I also issued a statement on the importance of rejecting language that incites violence against any group in society.</p><p>I welcome the Government of Tanzania's statement on 4 November making clear that such threats do not represent government policy, and that it will protect human rights as enshrined in the country's constitution. Following this statement, the British High Commissioner in Tanzania met the Minister for Home Affairs on 7 November and again raised our concerns over any language that encourages discrimination against any group in society.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 14/11/2018 15:15:54 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>​We remain deeply concerned about the deteriorating security situation in the Anglophone regions of the country and in the extreme north of the country, where Cameroon is fighting the terrorist group Boko Haram. The British Government welcomes the role Cameroon and its neighbours are playing in the campaign against Boko Haram. We call on the Government of Cameroon to take urgent action to address the Anglophone crisis and we hope that President Biya will reach out to all sections of Cameroonian society and work to build confidence and trust. In my statement of 23 October I reiterated that it is crucial for all parties to engage in a peaceful and structured process leading to constitutional reforms, as previously set out by the President, and avoid excessive use of force. The UK will continue to work alongside the international community to encourage and support efforts to resolve the Anglophone crisis.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 14/11/2018 15:17:00 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
