answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2015 answer text <p>The UK fully supports the statements made by the United Nations Secretary-General and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights which strongly condemned the recent killing of civilians by the terrorist group Boko Haram in Baga, Nigeria. Boko Haram continues to wreak havoc across North East Nigeria, causing suffering in communities of different faiths and ethnicities. As I set out in my answer to the Honourable Member for Brent Central (Sarah Teather)'s Urgent Question on 12 January (Hansard Column 601), the UK has taken an active role in leading international support to Nigeria in its fight against Boko Haram, alongside other international partners, including the UN. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) also discussed the situation with Secretary Kerry on 15 January 2015.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/01/2015 13:46:41 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2015 answer text <p>Five British nationals have reported their involvement in incidents caused by Boko Haram. However, we believe that more than 4,000 people were killed last year by Boko Haram, primarily in north-east Nigeria, but also in terrorist attacks throughout the country. The United Nations estimates that more than 1.5 million people have been displaced by Boko Haram’s terrorist activities.</p><p>As reflected in Travel Advice, terrorist groups in Nigeria, including Boko Haram, continue to pose a significant threat to British nationals and British interests in parts of the country. We believe that the terrorist group Ansaru are responsible for the murder of at least nine foreign hostages, including two British nationals in separate incidents in Nigeria in 2012 and in 2013. The UK has made clear our commitment to standing by Nigeria in its fight against terrorism.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/01/2015 13:22:50 question first ministerially corrected 16/01/2015 13:53:35 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire previous answer version 38835 answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge answering member 1559

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2015 answer text <p>Invitations to attend the inaugurations of new foreign and Commonwealth Heads of State are considered on a case by case basis. The FCO does not hold a central list of those who have attended inaugurations either as an official UK representative or in a private capacity.</p><p>The requested information is not, therefore, available without incurring disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/01/2015 14:19:14 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
