We regularly raise our concerns about Pakistan\u2019s blasphemy laws and the need for reform, as well as concerns about specific cases where individuals have been accused of blasphemy. In February 2015 I raised UK concerns about blasphemy laws with a group of visiting Pakistani Parliamentarians. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), discussed Pakistan\u2019s blasphemy laws with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in November 2014.<\/p>

In December 2014 my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister the member for Witney (Mr Cameron) also stressed our concerns about Pakistan\u2019s blasphemy law with Prime Minister Sharif.

The savings for 2015-16 announced on 4 June 2015 are being achieved through further efficiency savings, tighter control of budgets to drive underspends in year, and driving through asset sales.

Increasing productivity is a key part of this Government\u2019s economic plan.

The Home Office has already saved the taxpayer £1.5 billion, 23% in real-terms, as part of the 2010 Spending Review, with additional savings made as part of subsequent Autumn Statement and Budget measures.<\/p>

This has been achieved whilst reducing crime by more than a quarter, clamping down on sham marriages, removing more than 24,000 foreign criminals, training more than 160,000 frontline workers in our work to counter radicalisation, excluding more preachers of hate than any other government, and taking down on average 1,000 items of online terrorist-related material per week.<\/p>

For 2015-16 the Home Office has developed plans to reduce spend by a further £0.5 billion, 6.1% in real terms. The additional £30 million will be achieved as part of the department\u2019s measures to drive further productivity improvements, value from commercial suppliers and efficiency in the running costs of the department. The £30 million of in-year savings will not come from the core police grant, nor from the department\u2019s counter-terrorism funding for the police.<\/p>

The Chancellor announced savings amounting to £200 million from the Department\u2019s budget for 2015-16. Much of this is taken from anticipated underspends against existing budgets, and from contingency, and does not mean that any of the affected programmes will be cancelled.
