On 12 June, my Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Richmond (York) (William Hague MP), the former Foreign Secretary, announced a substantial new package of UK military, intelligence and development support to Nigeria as it tackles the terrorist threat.

We regularly raise the issue of blasphemy laws, and their misuse against Muslims and religious minorities, at the highest levels in Pakistan. We have consistently pressed the government of Pakistan on the issue of the death penalty and expressed our principled opposition to it in all cases and I will ensure that we continue to do both of these things.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 23/10/2014 14:57:54 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
