answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2015 answer text I welcome the steps taken by the Government of Bahrain in implementing its reform programme based on recommendations made by the Independent Commission of Inquiry. There is more to do, and I encourage greater progress in relaxing censorship and allowing the opposition greater access to the media. In 2014 the UK hosted a delegation from Bahrain’s Ministry of Information to share best practice on media relations and press freedom. The British Government is supporting Bahrain's reform programme on a range of issues. Assistance is focused on strengthening human rights and the rule of law, including torture prevention and capacity building in the Ombudsman's Office for the Ministry of Interior, which has responsibility for investigating allegations of detainee mistreatment. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/01/2015 14:41:08 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
