The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not requested the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross in relation to the repatriation of children from Syria. Our advice to any British national abroad, who needs emergency help from the British Government, is to contact the nearest British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission - which in this case will be outside Syria. If British citizens are able to seek consular assistance outside of Syria, then we would work with local and UK authorities to facilitate their return if requested.<\/p>

A state of emergency has existed in Brunei since the revolt in 1962. This has meant that freedoms of expression and assembly have been curtailed, and there are strict controls on civil society organisations. As such, there are few civil society pressure groups in Brunei.<\/p>

Despite this, the British Government works closely with a range of civil society organisations, such as The Commonwealth Equality Network, which works tirelessly to end discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. At last year\u2019s Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the Prime Minister made clear that nobody should face persecution or discrimination for who they are or whom they love. We have since allocated £5.6 million to enable the Equality and Justice Alliance \u2013 a consortium of civil society organisations \u2013 to support those countries who wish to reform legislation which discriminates on the grounds of gender identity or sexual orientation.<\/p>

We will continue to encourage and work with the Government of Brunei, as with many other countries, to remove corporal and capital punishment from its statutes. We will also urge Brunei to take steps to decriminalise, and pass laws to protect LGBT people from all forms of discrimination.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1405", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mark Field"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cities of London and Westminster"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mark Field"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-10T16:39:42.91Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Commonwealth: LGBT+ People"} , "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 he plans to take to support civil society groups (a) in Brunei and (b) throughout the Commonwealth who are protesting against the new laws on LGBT+ people.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4638", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Slough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi"} ], "uin" : "241481"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110027", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110027/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK's commitment to peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement, as a member of the Peace Implementation Council in our own right, does not depend on our membership of the EU. Indeed, at the Western Balkans Summit last July the Prime Minister announced a doubling of our bilateral assistance and a substantial increase to our staffing in the region, with security a major priority.<\/p>

EUFOR is mandated by the UN to implement the military aspects of Dayton. The UK fully supports the objectives of EUFOR Operation Althea, its continuing UN Chapter VII mandate, and the Berlin Plus arrangements from which it benefits. We will continue to do so as we leave the EU, and we intend to maintain a contribution to the Operation. In the event of a No Deal Brexit a separate agreement with the EU would be required for UK troops to continue in the Operation. We have made clear to the EU that we are open to reaching such an agreement.<\/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" : "2019-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-10T16:36:01.17Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Dayton Agreement"} , "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 recent assessment she has made of the effect on the Dayton Agreement of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1541", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Nia Griffith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Llanelli"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Nia Griffith"} ], "uin" : "241416"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1109708", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1109708/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK supports peace and stability in Darfur and a gradual and flexible withdrawal of United Nations\u2013African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), driven by the situation and needs on the ground. In December 2018 the UK, as penholder for the mission\u2019s resolution, drafted the Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2018/19) that sets out key areas and indicators, against which progress is required to ensure a successful drawdown and transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. The UK will continue to closely monitor the situation in Darfur and will work with the UN and in the UN Security Council on this matter.<\/p>
