answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2022 answer text <p>As the Foreign Secretary made clear in her statement of 24th May, these latest reports provide further shocking details of China's gross human rights violations in Xinjiang, adding to the already extensive body of evidence from Chinese government documents, first-hand testimony, satellite imagery and visits by our own diplomats to the region.</p><p>However, it remains the long-standing policy of the British Government not to make determinations in relation to genocide. Genocide is a crime and there must be no impunity for it. As with other crimes, judgment should be made after all available evidence has been considered by a competent court. The UK has led international efforts to hold China to account at the UN, imposed sanctions on senior Chinese government officials, and announced measures to help ensure no UK organisations are complicit in these violations through their supply chains. We will continue to act with our international partners to increase the pressure on China to change its behaviour.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 06/06/2022 16:31:29 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

Where this is the case, the Gambling Commision asks operators why they do not consider themselves to be acting illegally by providing gambling facilities in these jurisdictions. This may be because they are licenced to operate in that jurisdiction, or because they have satisfied themselves in some other way that they are not breaking the law by providing gambling facilities. If operators are found to not to be acting in a lawful manner in other jurisdictions, the Gambling Commission will re-assess their suitability to hold a licence to offer gambling services in Britain.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately grouped question UIN 8936 9086 question first answered 04/02/2020 15:19:44 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
