answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>The FCDO noted the 1 January 2024 announcement of a Memorandum of Understanding between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which suggests that Ethiopia will recognise Somaliland's independence in return for the lease of territory along its coastline. The UK is clear that we respect Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our position on Somaliland remains unchanged: alongside our international partners we do not recognise Somaliland as an independent state. We believe the settlement of Somaliland's status is for Somalia and Somaliland to resolve, through a consultative process. We are engaging all countries involved to call for calm and encourage dialogue.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 11/01/2024 10:14:25 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

The Code became effective on 28 May 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Pay.UK, under whom the Faster Payments Scheme sits, have consulted on the Change Request, which would introduce a levy on Faster Payments transactions for the reimbursement of victims in the long-term.
