question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the government of North Korea's claim to have tested a long-range intercontinental missile.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL420
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>​North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on 4 July is a clear violation of numerous Security Council resolutions. It is yet another reminder of the grave danger that North Korea poses. As a consequence on 5 July, the North Korean Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The UN Security Council met to condemn the test. We will work with partners on further measures to address the threat to international peace and security posed by North Korea's destabilising and provocative conduct.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 18/07/2017 17:00:02 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

question text	Her Majesty's Government, in the light of (1) the clearing of Leigh Day and three of its solicitors of all allegations of professional misconduct, and (2) reports of further allegations by a whistle-blower against that firm, concerning claims by Iraqi civilians of abuse by British troops, whether they intend to refer that firm to the National Crime Agency for investigation of any possible criminal conduct.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL423
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is aware of the recent media allegations of misconduct by an apparent whistle-blower, but consider it premature to refer the matter to the National Crime Agency. As the NCA would likely investigate only if these allegations have not been examined by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, the Government will need to await publication of the Tribunal’s full, reasoned decision before deciding whether it is appropriate to refer the matter to the NCA.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 18/07/2017 16:24:39 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the decision by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to ban the Jehovah's Witnesses on the grounds that the group is considered to be an extremist organisation.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Coventry
uin	HL427
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by the dismissal of an appeal against the decision of Russia's Supreme Court to categorise the Jehovah's Witnesses as extremists. This ruling effectively criminalises the peaceful worship of some 175,000 Russian citizens and is at odds with the right to religious freedom which is enshrined in the Russian Constitution.</p><p>I issued a statement on 18 July expressing our concerns. We have raised this issue with the Russian Government and continue to call on them to uphold their commitment to this basic freedom in international fora, including in the Council of Europe.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/07/2017 15:57:06 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>Her Majesty's Government welcomes the peace accord, signed on 19 June. However, we remain concerned by continued violence between armed groups in the Central African Republic, which is causing heavy civilian loss of life and significant population displacement, despite the agreement including an immediate cessation of hostilities. We call on all armed group leaders immediately to implement the cessation provisions in the agreement as well as to honour their commitment, without any restriction, to the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation process.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/07/2017 14:40:08 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
