uin	107196
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>Mexico faces significant threats from the full spectrum of serious and organised crime. Violence and insecurity stemming from this criminal activity, exacerbated by chronic corruption and impunity, is a huge and growing problem – with 2017 set to become the most violent year since records began in the 1990s. The Foreign Secretary and I look forward to discussing the political and security situation in Mexico when we meet the Mexican Foreign Minister in London on 19 October. The political focus in Mexico remains on the consequences of the earthquakes of 7 and 19 September. We are also supporting the Mexican Government’s efforts to tackle underlying justice and security issues, including through Prosperity Fund programmes to promote transparency and support the consolidation of Mexico’s new adversarial justice system.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 16/10/2017 15:00:20 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
