uin	106898
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>The Saudi-led Coalition continues to seek to reinstate the legitimate government in Yemen and defend its own southern border against artillery and missile strikes by Houthi forces and those allied to former President Saleh. Sporadic fighting is taking place in western Yemen, including along the Saudi border, around Midi, north east of Sana'a and in the vicinity of Sirwah. We remain concerned by the ability of terrorist organisations such as Al Qaeda and Daesh to exploit ungoverned spaces in Yemen. The conflict has also resulted in security threats to international shipping in the Bab-el-Mandeb. Restarting peace talks remains the priority: a political solution is the best way to bring stability to Yemen and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. The UK continues to play a leading role in international efforts to achieve this goal. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith to find a political solution to end the conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/10/2017 16:30:42 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	227153
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2015 answer text <p>The Civil Service People Survey asks the question “Do you have any long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability?” The survey does not include a question that specifically identifies disability status. In the 2014 People Survey, 20% of Foreign and Commonwealth Office respondents declaring a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability reported that they had personally experienced bullying or harassment at work in the past 12 months. 12% of Foreign and Commonwealth Office respondents declaring that they did not have a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability reported that they had personally experienced bullying or harassment at work in the past 12 months. The FCO acts on staff feedback from the People Survey as a priority, ensuring concerns are addressed by departments. We take any complaints of bullying, harassment and discrimination very seriously and have guidance and points of contact in place to listen to and respond to staff concerns. Staff with disabilities are supported by the FCO’s dedicated Disability Support Team, who provide advice, training and support to disabled colleagues and their line managers, and with our staff network work to raise disability awareness and confidence across the FCO.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/03/2015 14:15:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2014 answer text The UK remains actively engaged with the United Nations Human Rights Council on Bahrain and we will continue to align ourselves with statements which accurately reflect the situation on the ground. Bahrain was one of the countries that we raised in our national statement under Item 10 of the agenda at the September session at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. We commend the steps taken by the Bahraini government to implement the recommendations set out in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. As outlined in our recent human rights case study on Bahrain, progress has been made in a number of areas but there is still more to be done. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 03/11/2014 14:54:56 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
