In those meetings I called for an urgent resumption of humanitarian aid and an independent investigation into allegations of recent human rights violations conducted by the security forces.

Friend the Member for Reading West (Alok Sharma), raised our concerns with the Burmese Minister of Construction when he visited London on 29 November. We will continue to raise our concerns at every appropriate opportunity.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/01/2017 17:07:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>The Government supports co-operation in the dairy sector through the development of co-operatives and Producer Organisations (POs). In January 2014 we commissioned a study looking at the critical success factors behind dairy co-operatives working across Europe, including France. The study showed that collaboration has an important role to play in establishing mutual beneficial relationships between all parties across the supply chain. For this reason we have facilitated the uptake of POs in this country.
