answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2014 answer text The right to freedom of religion or belief, including the right to change one’s faith or beliefs, is a right which is enshrined in international human rights law. The UK government has consistently urged the Iranian government to respect the rights of all minority religious groups, in line with their international commitments. The UK last raised our concerns about freedom of religion in Iran during our inputs in Iran’s Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council on 31 October. The UK’s non-resident Chargé d’Affaires to Iran also raised the issue of freedom of religion with Iranian human rights officials during a visit to Iran in March 2014. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/11/2014 14:22:17 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text The British Government regularly raises concerns regarding the Israeli building and planning regime in Area C with the Israeli Government. The UK has also called publicly on Israel to take steps towards the transfer of authority over Area C to the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian development in Area C is essential for a sustainable Palestinian economy, yet only 1% of Area C is zoned for Palestinian construction and a large portion of this land is already built-up. The UK will therefore continue to press Israel to ease the current restrictive permitting regime and to transfer control of Area C to the Palestinian Authority as per the Oslo accords. The Israeli Non-Governmental Organisation Peace Now has identified the building and demolition decisions in Area C. Between 2000 and 2007 the Israeli Civil Administration approved only 91 of 1,624 Palestinian applications. During the same period Israeli settlers built over 18,000 homes in the same area. We assess that this does not help efforts towards peace. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/11/2014 15:42:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	213991
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text It appears from public images that some of the tear gas canisters used during the protests in Hong Kong on 28 September were manufactured by Chemring Ltd (a UK company), but Hong Kong Police have not verified this and we have no independent confirmation. As debated recently in Parliament, the Government has reviewed licences for tear gas exports to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. Each licence application is rigorously examined on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated Criteria and we will revoke or suspend licences that no longer meet them. After carefully reviewing one current licence, the Government has decided it will not be revoked on the basis that it does not contravene the Consolidated Criteria. answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 17/11/2014 15:38:59 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
