\u200bThe UK has significant expertise in crisis preparedness and consular affairs. Thanks to its extensive global footprint of 273<\/del> 274<\/ins> posts in 169 countries and territories, and its network of Honorary Consuls, the UK is able to provide professional consular services worldwide. In addition to our network, people who need assistance can call any of our embassies, high commissions or consulates, or the FCO switchboard, 24/7 for advice or help. The UK is open to maintaining a close level of cooperation with the EU, if this is perceived to be of mutual benefit, on crisis preparedness and consular affairs, including the provision of consular assistance to unrepresented EU citizens in third countries on a reciprocal basis. Details of this offer have been published on gov.uk, most recently in a technical note<\/a> on coordination on external security.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1010753/answer/previousversion/87137", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-26T16:58:31.593Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2018-12-03T12:32:53.01Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Diplomatic Service: EU Countries"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of whether UK citizens may continue to seek consular and diplomatic protection from EU member states in countries where the UK is not represented after the UK leaves the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1484", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Goodman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bishop Auckland"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Helen Goodman"} ], "uin" : "193410"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/972420", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/972420/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

All DFID staff are bound by both the Civil Service Code and DFID\u2019s Code of Conduct, which set clear standards of conduct to protect all staff and anyone the organisation has contact with. These codes are well publicised to staff and cover any form of sexual exploitation and abuse, bullying, or harassment of staff, partners or beneficiaries and make clear that staff should not do anything in their private conduct which might discredit the department. DFID has mechanisms to allow staff raising concerns with management along with a distinct whistleblowing hotline which staff can use anonymously to report cases. A breach of any of the standards set out in our Code of Conduct can lead to formal disciplinary action and potential dismissal for gross misconduct.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

As previously announced by the Secretary of State, DFID is currently reviewing any locally reported allegations of sexual misconduct involving its own staff. This will complete shortly and therefore we are not currently in a position to share the detail of any cases.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

DFID\u2019s Dignity at Work policy confirms that DFID is committed to achieving equality of opportunity for our staff and will not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation of employees, this includes sexual harassment and other non-consensual sexual activity. The policy applies to all staff and includes personal responsibilities to create and sustain a working environment free of bullying and harassment where individuals are treated with fairness, dignity and respect. The policy also makes clear how staff should report any concerns.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

DFID\u2019s standards of conduct set out the ethical behaviours and controls required in our day to day work to incorporate the key principles based on the UN\u2019s code on sexual exploitation and abuse in Humanitarian crises. DFID\u2019s Public Interest Disclosure Policy (Whistleblowing) also allows staff and others to raise concerns anonymously to a confidential Email address.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The number of staff formally reported for sexual harassment in the last three years is:<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

2015 - nil<\/del><\/p>

2016 - nil<\/del><\/p>

2017 - under five.<\/del><\/p>

We are buying our new Apache AH-64E helicopters through a Foreign Military Sale with the United States Government. This approach delivers the best possible value for money for the UK taxpayer, allowing us to take advantage of established production lines and the resulting economies of scale, while ensuring we deliver a world-leading capability to our Armed Forces.<\/p>

A number of UK companies have secured work on the global Apache supply chain, delivering products that will be used in our new helicopters and those being delivered to the US Army as well as other international customers. There will also be significant opportunities for UK companies to assist in the provision of support and training services for our new Apache helicopter fleet.<\/p>
