Chevening Scholarships are currently offered in over 150 countries and territories and offer a unique opportunity for future leaders to study in UK institutions, experience our culture and build lasting relationships with the UK.<\/p>

The majority of funding for Chevening is Official Development Assistance (ODA), which can only be allocated to students from ODA eligible countries. They are expected to return and contribute to the development of their host countries. Chevening Scholarships are not currently awarded to citizens of the UK or other EU countries or the United States.<\/p>

We have no current plans to change this policy, but keep it under regular review and are committed to maintaining and developing relationships with the 46,500 alumni around the world - including in the EU.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4014", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Reading West"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alok Sharma"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-11-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-11-14T14:26:25.94Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-11-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Chevening Scholarships Programme"} , "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, whether he plans to review the policy of Chevening scholarships not being awarded within the EU after the vote for the UK to leave the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nigel Evans"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ribble Valley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Nigel Evans"} ], "uin" : "52318"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/631845", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/631845/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "I refer the Hon.

Burma has made considerable strides forward on human rights since State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi came to power in April 2016. The new Burmese Government has released over 300 political prisoners, begun to abolish draconian laws, initiated a peace process to resolve the long-running internal conflict, and established a new Rakhine Advisory Commission led by Kofi Annan. Despite this progress, we continue to have a number of concerns about human rights. We are concerned by reports of violations in Northern Shan and Kachin involving civilian casualties and the restriction of humanitarian access to internally displaced people. We are also concerned by the ongoing persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State and allegations of human rights abuses in the security response to the 9 October attacks on Border Guard Police posts in northern Rakhine. The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my noble Friend, the Rt Hon Baroness Anelay of St Johns DBE, visited Burma from 9-12 November specifically to address issues of human rights, with a focus on the prevention of sexual violence in conflict.<\/p>

I remain concerned about reports of human rights abuses in Pakistan. Our concerns are reflected in the latest update to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office annual human rights report.

I am concerned about attacks against human rights activists and lawyers in Pakistan. The terrorist attack on lawyers at a hospital in Quetta in August was deplorable. I condemned this senseless act of violence against those working to defend the rights of others and offered condolences to those affected by it.<\/p>

The Government of Pakistan continues to take steps to improve security and tackle terrorist and extremist elements through its National Action Plan. Security in Pakistan has improved since 2014. The UK is committed to supporting Pakistan in addressing the shared threat from terrorism and extremism. We are partnering with Pakistan to increase its capacity to confront the terrorist threat, reform the judiciary so those responsible for attacks can be held accountable by civilian courts, and address the root causes of extremism and terrorism.<\/p>

We regularly raise the importance we attach to protecting all human rights, including the freedom of expression, with the Pakistani Government at a senior level. In April, the previous Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Right Hon Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), pressed Sartaj Aziz, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, to guarantee the rights of all Pakistan's citizens.
