question text	Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Indonesia that Indonesia's blasphemy laws will not be applied in a discriminatory manner, including against those who do not practise one of the six religions recognised under Indonesian law.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Coventry
uin	HL337
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>We raise these issues regularly and appropriately with the Indonesian government. We supported the EU statement, issued following the conviction of the former governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (known as 'Ahok') on blasphemy charges. This called on the Indonesian government, its institutions and its people to continue the long standing tradition of tolerance and pluralism in Indonesia and stated that laws criminalising blasphemy when applied in a discriminatory manner can have a serious inhibiting effect on freedom of expression and freedom of religion. Our Ambassador to Indonesia also publicly expressed concern about the blasphemy verdict against 'Ahok' on social media. More generally, and in meetings with political and religious leaders, the Ambassador and Embassy officials have actively cautioned against mixing issues of race, ethnicity and religion with politics.</p><p>In addition, we are also supporting the Indonesian parliament in their ongoing revision of the Indonesian Penal Code to encourage respect for human rights, including freedom of religion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 17/07/2017 16:52:25 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

uin	HL337
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2016 answer text <p>This Government is clear that more must be done not only to disrupt and prosecute criminals but also to protect people and businesses from becoming victims of fraud. In February this year the Government launched the Joint Fraud Taskforce a genuine collaboration of banks, law enforcement and government. It is the first time these organisations have come together to tackle fraud, and particularly to focus on those issues that have been considered too difficult for a single organisation to manage alone. The Taskforce has five work strands which are:</p><p>- Understanding the Threat - Bringing together data to agree key threats, vulnerabilities and drivers of fraud;</p><p>- The Collective Response - Better targeting to disrupt and catch fraudsters, through increased cooperation between banks and law enforcement;</p><p>- Victims &amp; Vulnerability - More efficient identification of victims, including addressing the barriers preventing return of funds to victims;</p><p>- Behaviour Change - better targeted messaging on fraud prevention and,</p><p>- Tackling systemic vulnerabilities - Designing out vulnerabilities and loopholes in systems and processes which fraudsters exploit.</p><p>The Government has also published in March this year &quot;A Guide for Consumers: Staying Safe When You Shop and Bank Online.&quot; The report draws on real life, anonymised examples of reported crimes and provides simple but effective advice on how the people can protect themselves from these types of frauds: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-guide-for-consumers-staying-safe-when-you-bank-or-shop-online</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/06/2016 10:50:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon attachment 1 file name A_guide_for_consumers_220316_web_version_FINAL.pdf title A Guide for Consumers: Staying Safe When You Shop
