answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>We remain concerned about the human rights record of the Government of Eritrea. We have raised these concerns consistently, most recently during the interactive dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Eritrea at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on 16 June 2017. One of the issues highlighted was that of arbitrary detentions, including those detained on the basis of their religious belief. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office also joined a recent campaign calling for the release of Patriarch Antonios after 10 years imprisonment in Eritrea.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 17/07/2017 15:08:39 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government takes the safety risks of drones to aviation very seriously. We have already taken action on this by working with the Civil Aviation Authority and industry to raise awareness of the rules amongst drone operators and the general public. The Government intends to introduce further measures once we have fully analysed the evidence presented through our consultation process. We are exploring options, such as improving deterrents for the misuse of drones and measures to improve communication to drone users of ‘no drone flying zones’, including around airports. The Government response to the consultation will be published in the near future.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 17/07/2017 14:42:23 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

The Government made clear in September 2014 that the on-the-run scheme established by the previous Labour administration was at an end, and that there was no basis for any reliance on letters received under the scheme as a barrier to prosecution should the required evidential test be met. Lady Justice Hallett carried out an independent review in 2014 and while she found that there were significant failures in this process she concluded that these letters did not amount to an amnesty.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/07/2017 12:16:52 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
