uin	197989
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p>In the days following the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls from Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria, we have offered our assistance to the highest levels of the Nigerian government. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), spoke to the Nigerian Foreign Minister on 18 April immediately after the abductions and offered the UK's assistance. <br><br>On 7 May the Prime Minister, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), spoke to President Jonathan and offered to send a team of UK experts to Abuja. The President accepted and the team, led by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), arrived in Abuja on 9 May. The team will provide expertise in counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, military mentoring and training, victim support and economic development. Human rights compliance is, and will remain, an essential element of any UK assistance in Nigeria. I visited Nigeria on 14 May, and reiterated our support with President Jonathan. <br><br>We are coordinating closely with international partners. An FCO team was in Washington on 5 May for talks with the US on Nigeria. Our expert team in Abuja will be coordinating closely with a US team also in Abuja. We are also speaking to the French and are encouraging other EU partners to lend their support. Given Boko Haram's exploitation of Nigeria's porous borders and indications that some of the girls may have been taken to Cameroon or Chad, we are engaging with Nigeria's neighbours.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Mark Simmonds question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1393 label Biography information for Mark Simmonds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p>We are aware that there some concerns that the European Parliament's amendments to the draft Connected Continent regulation may restrict ISPs ability to block illegal content or to filter adult content at the request of customers. The UK Government supports the aims of the Connect Continent package, but let me clear that we will not agree to any proposals that restrict the ability of parents to protect their children from inappropriate content on line. We are confident that this was not the intention of the European Parliament and we are working with EU Member States, the European Commission and the European Parliament to deliver a final package that promotes an open, safe and secure internet.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
