question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to call for a review of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, reached on 21 November 1995, in order to find new consitutional arrangements for Bosnia–Herzegovina; and what plans they have to stipulate, as part of any such review, that the population of Bosnia–Herzegovina be consulted in any such review.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/12/2020 answer text <p>The importance of the General Framework Agreement for Peace, which brought an end to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in the 1990s, cannot be overstated. However, it was not intended to be set in stone and was worded to enable local actors to make changes in the future. The United Kingdom remains committed to supporting BiH's security, democracy and prosperity, underpinned as necessary by constitutional reform. The international community will offer support, but it is essential that the authorities in BiH themselves make reforms based on broad consensus and for the greater good of all citizens. This path forward requires compromise and cooperation from all sides. All BiH citizens must have the right to participate equally in their country's future. The Foreign Secretary called on BiH's leaders to focus on a peaceful future and democratic rights for all in his statement to mark the anniversary of the Dayton Agreement on 21 November.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/12/2020 10:13:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL11295
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/12/2020 answer text <p>We have a long standing and strong relationship with Greece and are committed to supporting Greece's efforts to manage migration effectively. On 22 April, the UK  and Greece signed a bilateral migration action plan to reaffirm our commitment to cooperation and to establish a strategic migration dialogue.  The Plan includes a UK-Greece exchange of expertise on asylum and returns processes and organised immigration crime. This also forms part of our regional and international cooperation response, as part of a 'whole of route' approach to tackling the challenges of, and risks posed by, irregular migration. For example, our co-operation with Turkey is key to effectively managing migratory flows and preventing people risking their lives while attempting to cross the Aegean. We are actively engaging to help shape the international response on migration further up the route, working through an increasingly diverse set of partners and source and transit countries.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/12/2020 10:12:19 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) HMP Belmarsh, and (2) healthcare providers, about the provision of care for Julian Assange; and what assessment they have made of the case for reviewing his care.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL11299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2020 answer text <p>The MoJ does not hold any information in relation to the provisions of health care to Mr Julian Assange. This is because NHS England and the Welsh Government have primary responsibility for the commissioning of healthcare services in public prisons. The commitment to working with health and justice partners is set out in the National Partnership Agreement for Prison Healthcare in England, which was published in April 2018. Prisoners do, however, receive the same healthcare and treatment as anyone outside of the prison. NHS practitioners use their professional judgement to ensure that a high level of care and confidentiality is provided to prisoners that is equal to that care given to patients in the wider community. HMPPS is committed through the National Partnership Agreement to safeguarding the public health of those in prison.</p><p>Responsibility for Mr Assange's healthcare rests with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Healthcare providers work in close partnership with Prison Staff to deliver the best care possible to all Prisoners. Due to patient confidentiality, it would not be appropriate to comment on the care of individual Prisoners.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 22/12/2020 16:41:47 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/12/2020 answer text <p>The UK Government, through our Embassy in Madrid, discusses a range of issues related to migration with the Spanish authorities. Our Embassy monitors closely the recent rise in migrant crossings from West Africa to the Canary Islands which, according to Spain's Ministry of the Interior, increased by 1,019% between 1 January and 15 November compared with the same period in 2019. The Government of Spain has not requested assistance in managing this increase in arrivals and the UK Government, whilst committed to working with Spain to achieve safe and properly managed migration, has no plans to intervene.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/12/2020 16:16:48 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
