uin	124310
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>​Afrin is largely under the de facto control of the Kurdish PYD party. We have some human rights concerns about the PYD's governance of areas it controls although these are not as severe as the human rights situation in areas held by the Syrian regime. We have particular concern about the PYD's intolerance of political opposition and reports of harassment and arbitrary detention of political opponents. NGOs and others have also raised concerns about human rights protection of those in custody under PYD authority. We are following the situation in Afrin closely since the announcement of the Turkish operation there. The UK is committed to working closely with Turkey and other Allies to find solutions in Syria that provide stability, refrain from escalating the situation and protect Turkey's security interests.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/01/2018 16:27:10 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

They are also utilising their existing employer contacts in the sector and the grant incentives they have available to find alternative employers for the apprentices to complete their frameworks or standards. Additionally, CITB are making contact with Carillion supply chain companies and have reported that numerous employers have responded with offers of support.</p><p> </p><p>CITB have scheduled a series of workshops for learners, which will take place in the regions of the 11 Carillion Training Centres, providing advice on the next steps. The timings and locations of these events will be communicated by telephone and on their website. Carillion will also encourage their learners to attend.</p><p> </p><p>Carillion have sent out communication to their learners, alerting them to the situation and reassuring them that support is in place.</p><p> </p><p>The ESFA are meeting with CITB daily to monitor progress and resolve any issues.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 19/01/2018 13:43:08 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
