The Government did not obtain legal advice on international law before publishing the Six-Monthly Report on Hong Kong in question. Neither did it place a record of understandings and agreements reached by the UK and China before the Foreign Affairs Committee. The Joint Declaration does not refer to universal suffrage, but it provides for the Chief Executive to be selected by election or consultations and the legislature to be constituted by elections. The Government has made clear that implementation of Article 45 of the Basic Law is the best way to guarantee Hong Kong\u2019s stability and prosperity, and continued momentum towards that goal is essential. There are no plans to release agreements reached by the Joint Liaison Group.<\/p>"}

The FCO secured attendance of Ministers from Kenya, Uganda, Namibia and 15 other African countries at the London Conference on IWT in February 2014. We also gained the participation of Ministers from these countries, plus South Africa and 12 other African countries, to attend the UK supported follow-up conference in Kasane, northern Botswana, on 25 March 2015 for further discussions.

The UK made it clear that it would not be participating in an EU resettlement scheme as we already operate successful national schemes. At the extraordinary JHA Council on 14 September, the Home Secretary made clear the Government's view that resettlement from the region is an essential part of the response to the situation in Syria. All UK resettlement activity will continue to be delivered under existing national programmes, including the expanded Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme under which we expect to resettle up to 20,000 Syrians in need of protection during this Parliament.<\/p>"}
