answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The UK remains firmly opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. We have repeatedly called upon the Government of Pakistan to end capital punishment and, at a minimum, commit to renewing the previously imposed moratorium. We regularly raise our concerns about freedom of religion or belief and the misuse of the blasphemy laws with the Pakistani Government at a senior level. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson), raised religious tolerance and misuse of the blasphemy laws during his visit to Pakistan in November 2016. During my visit to Pakistan earlier this month I raised the death penalty and the treatment of religious minorities, including discrimination and violence against the Ahmadiyya community with Pakistan’s Ministry of Human Rights.</p><p>During the Universal Periodic Review of Pakistan on 13 November in Geneva we expressed our concerns about human rights and limits on freedoms of expression and religion or belief, particularly for the Ahmadiyya Muslim and Christian communities. We called for a clear timeline for the review of legislation carrying the death penalty with the aim of limiting the scope of crimes to which it applies.</p><p>The Government will continue to urge Pakistan to honour in practice its human rights obligations, including those related to the death penalty and freedom of expression and religion.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 21/11/2017 17:28:25 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

However, NHS England’s work in supporting the roll out of the Recovery Package for cancer, patients including those who received Blood and Marrow Transplants, helps ensure patients have more personal care and support from the point they are diagnosed and once treatment ends.</p><p> </p><p>For patients this means working with their care team to develop a comprehensive plan outlining not only their physical needs, but also other support they may need, such as help at home or financial advice. By 2020 NHS England wants all cancer patients to have access to the Recovery Package and is committed to implementing this in collaboration with charities, professionals and patients themselves.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 16/10/2017 15:21:26 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

We have raised this with the Algerian government, who said that the arrests relate to breaches of laws which apply to all religions in Algeria. The Algerian constitution provides freedom of religion and we encourage them to make domestic law fully compatible with that. The promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief for all individuals internationally remains a high priority for the UK.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/09/2017 16:57:47 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
