question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many British nationals have died in police custody in other countries in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	9441
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text Our current method of recording deaths in custody does not separate those who died in police custody from the overall figure of those who died in custody. Prior to May 2012 we have no statistics on death in custody of British nationals overseas. From May to December 2012 we are aware of two British nationals who died in custody overseas. In 2013 we are aware of ten cases and in 2014 of eleven. This year, up until 31 August, we have been made aware of four cases. To break down the location of death in custody for figures prior to May 2012 would require detailed searches of all detainee records, which would be of disproportionate cost. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 16/09/2015 12:13:26 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

uin	9438
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text The FCO works very closely with DEFRA to combat the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) and eradicate the poaching of elephants, rhinos, and other animals, reflecting HMG’s global leadership on this issue. Our Posts across Africa, are very active on this. Our Ambassadors and High Commissioners regularly raise the issue of IWT at the highest level, and FCO Ministers raise IWT with their counterparts wherever possible, including at multilateral fora. I recently wrote to the Zimbabwean Minister for Environment, Water, and Climate to advance our working together on this issue. 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. These initiatives have resulted in collective conference declarations with 40 ambitious commitments, to eradicate IWT through demand reduction, strengthening law enforcement and legal deterrents, and protecting sustainable livelihoods. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 16/09/2015 15:00:11 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
