answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2017 answer text <p>The proposal by the Government of South Sudan to increase the cost of work permits is a further obstruction of the delivery of humanitarian aid by the government. If these fees are imposed it will have serious consequences for the agencies that are doing all they can to tackle the famine that has been declared. Together with our international partners we raised these issues with the South Sudanese First Vice President on 15 March, and made clear that the government of South Sudan has a responsibility to stop the suffering of its own people, and allow full humanitarian access across the country.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 30/03/2017 14:47:23 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>We are concerned by the increasingly challenging environment for foreign workers in South Sudan, especially those working for humanitarian organisations and aid agencies. The continued obstruction of their work by the Government of South Sudan is particularly troubling following the declaration of famine in parts of Greater Unity State. The proposal to increase the cost of work permits will hinder their response. In light of the desperate situation, we are planning together with our international partners urgently to raise these issues with the Government of South Sudan.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/03/2017 13:38:13 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
