In particular, the government must fulfil its commitment to improve access for humanitarian personnel to those who need our support. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Africa Director raised this issue with the First Vice President on 23 November. We also raise humanitarian issues alongside other donors with representatives of the Government in the context of discussions about the peace process, organised by the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Committee in Juba, most recently on 22 November.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/11/2016 15:52:19 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
