It will not address the serious threats to international peace and security posed by nuclear proliferation nor will it take account of the international security environment. We will consider our approach to the Conference closer to the time.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 07/03/2018 15:26:52 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government has consistently urged the Government of Burma the risks in Rakhine since they came to power in April 2016, and urging them to address the underlying issues in Rakhine, including discrimination against the Rohingya people. The UK has supported the Rakhine Advisory Commission (RAC), established by State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi to look at these underlying issues. The UK believes that full implementation of the RAC recommendations are the best opportunity to achieve a long-term and sustainable settlement in Rakhine State which includes the Rohingya.</p><p>The Foreign Secretary visited Burma on 10-11 February and spoke with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi about finding a peaceful solution to the humanitarian crisis and for the Rohingya to be able to return to Rakhine province. The Foreign Secretary continues to raise the plight of the Rohingya in his discussions with his counterparts in other countries, as well as in discussions at the EU and UN.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 07/03/2018 10:33:44 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
