	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text The Chancellor is extremely proud of our record of helping over 600,000 disabled people into employment over the last four years. At the Treasury Committee, he made a broader point about workforce productivity. Both the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Office for Budget Responsibility have suggested that increasing overall employment may have had an effect on measures of productivity. The Chancellor was not suggesting – and does not believe – that increased participation by people with disabilities has had any negative impact on the economy. It has helped to increase economic growth and it is something we can be very proud of as a country. answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 21/12/2017 13:20:34 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text Sudan faces a number of economic challenges. While US economic sanctions were lifted in late 2017, Sudan remains a challenging place to do business. The economic situation has been exacerbated by a shortage of foreign exchange which has resulted in fuel shortages. Sudan is still unable to access international financial assistance, in part due to its arrears to the International Monetary Fund and others and the failure to service its debt. Politically, the UK continues to work with the Government of Sudan to ensure that constitutional and political rights are respected. Sudan remains a Human Rights Priority Country for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. The UK continues to encourage Sudan to undertake macroeconomic and political reforms, including through the six-monthly Strategic Dialogue with the Government of Sudan. answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 17/07/2018 13:32:00 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
