The UK has been a vocal advocate of the anti-corruption efforts and the valuable work carried out by the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) to support and strengthen Guatemalan national institutions. The UK is deeply disappointed at the Guatemalan Government's continued attempts to prevent CICIG from carrying out its mandate, and the attacks on the Constitutional Court which threaten to undermine the rule of law in Guatemala in a year when general elections will be held. In response, I [Sir Alan Duncan] released a statement on 14 January. The UK also joined statements from the EU and the G13 local donor group condemning Guatemala's decision to unilaterally terminate the agreement establishing CICIG and urging the Guatemalan Government to uphold the rule of law.

2018 saw an 80 percent reduction, comapred to 2014 in the number of migrants crossing the central Mediterranean from North Africa to Italy \u2013 from 119,000 in 2017 to 23,000 in 2018, according to UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) figures. The number of fatalities on the central route has not reduced by the same rate. According to UNHCR the proportion of dead and missing compared to the number of arrivals doubled in 2018 to 5.6 percent from 2.4 percent in 2017. The largest proportion of migrants crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa during 2018 continued to be from Libya, although the proportion crossing from Tunisia increased during 2018.

The FCO is by definition a global organisation which uses travel as an essential part of its role.<\/p>

FCO Policy is that public transport should be used whenever possible. All FCO staff are directed to use standard class for rail travel unless there are exceptional circumstances. Prior line management approval must be given.<\/p>

FCO staff travelling by air are required to book the lowest standard fare possible, subject to budget holder approval. FCO officials may fly business class only if the flight is ten hours or longer, or on flights of more than 5 hours in exceptional circumstances.<\/p>

The FCO's expenditure on taxi, First class rail and Business class air travel is detailed in the table below. The figures on First class rail and Business class represent travel booked through the Government's nominated travel agency.<\/p>

In response, I have released a statement expressing our disappointment at the Guatemalan governments attempt to prevent CICIG carrying out its mandate. The UK also joined statements of the EU and the G13 local donor group condemning Guatemala's decision to unilaterally terminate the agreement establishing CICIG and calling on the Guatemalan government to uphold the rule of law. The UK will continue to monitor developments, through our Embassy in Guatemala, and call upon the Guatemalan government to allow CICIG to complete its mandate and ensure the security of its staff.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/343", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Rutland and Melton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sir Alan Duncan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-15T16:24:55.29Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Guatemala: Politics and Government"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department (a) has taken and (b) plans to take to support the work of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala following recent attempts by the Guatemalan Government to shut the commission down.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/553", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ann Clwyd"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cynon Valley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ann Clwyd"} ], "uin" : "207171"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Foreign+and+Commonwealth+Office&_page=1&max-date=2019-01-14&answer.answeringMemberPrinted=Sir+Alan+Duncan", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1636, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
