answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2017 answer text <p>The proposal by the Government of South Sudan to increase the cost of work permits is a further obstruction of the delivery of humanitarian aid by the government. If these fees are imposed it will have serious consequences for the agencies that are doing all they can to tackle the famine that has been declared. Together with our international partners we raised these issues with the South Sudanese First Vice President on 15 March, and made clear that the government of South Sudan has a responsibility to stop the suffering of its own people, and allow full humanitarian access across the country.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 30/03/2017 14:47:23 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
