	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2019 answer text <p>It is difficult to assess the number of deaths resulting from the conflict in Yemen due to our lack of access and presence on the ground. We welcome the efforts of the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project and others to estimate the impact of the conflict, recognising that sadly the true fatality figures are likely to be higher. We maintain that a political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis. All parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 12/07/2019 10:31:16 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by the shutdown of mobile data services to eight townships in Rakhine and one in neighbouring Chin state. We are particularly concerned that the shutdown has taken place in parts of Rakhine where there are already significant restrictions on international access. We are clear that denying access to mobile data services restricts the right to freedom of expression and the ability to share reports of human rights violations. Embassy officials have raised our concerns with the Myanmar government. We continue to monitor the situation closely and urge the Myanmar government to restore mobile internet access to the affected townships.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 11/07/2019 14:40:38 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
