answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Freedom of religion or belief in Sudan continues to be an area of deep concern to the British Government. Along with international partners, we regularly attend court cases on freedom of religion or belief and raise related cases with the Government of Sudan. Through our project work we also seek to support lawyers who take on cases addressing important human rights issues, such as freedom of religion. More broadly, we also continue highlight our concerns about the conflict in South Kordofan, most recently via a joint statement with our Troika partners on 27 May. We welcome the Government of Sudan’s announcement of a cessation of hostilities on 17 June and urge all sides to respect this.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2016 15:18:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL919
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2014 answer text <p>There is absolutely no place for discrimination in our society and particularly in an institution as important as the Metropolitan Police. The findings of the employment tribunal in the case brought by Carol Howard are of concern. It is vital that complaints of racist and sexist behaviour in the workplace are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly and resolved appropriately. The Independent Police Complaints Commission’s (IPCC) recent report on police handling of allegations of discrimination made a number of recommendations to improve police performance in this area. The IPCC will be working with forces, the College of Policing and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary to ensure that these improvements are delivered. The Government has no plans at this time to launch a public inquiry into police handling of discrimination claims.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 23/07/2014 13:03:39 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
