\u200bWe remain deeply concerned about the deteriorating situation in the Anglophone regions, which continue to suffer from high levels of violence and human rights abuses perpetrated by both security forces and armed separatists. The British Government calls on the Government of Cameroon to take urgent action now to address the crisis in the Anglophone regions. We hope that President Biya will reach out to all sections of Cameroonian society and work to build confidence and trust. It is crucial for all parties to engage in a peaceful and structured process leading to constitutional reforms, as previously set out by the President, and avoid excessive use of force. The UK will continue to work alongside the international community to encourage and support efforts to resolve the Anglophone crisis. It is vital that all parties now work together to secure a peaceful future for all Cameroonians.<\/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" : "2018-11-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-07T14:47:49.967Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cameroon: Politics and Government"} , "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 recent assessment he has made of the political and security situation in Cameroon; and what representations his Department is making to the Cameroon Government on those matters.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4410", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julian Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Solihull"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Julian Knight"} ], "uin" : "186347"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/997832", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/997832/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The FCO provides consular assistance to British Nationals overseas. We do not normally offer consular assistance to dual British nationals who are in the country of their other nationality unless we consider that the individual is vulnerable and we have humanitarian concerns.<\/p>
Our travel advice to Cameroon is kept under constant review. The promotion and protection of human rights in Cameroon remains an objective of the British Government and we remain concerned by the situation in the Anglophone regions. It is vital that urgent steps are taken to reduce the violence and create a meaningful process of national dialogue to address the core issues.<\/p>

Section 208 of the Water Industry Act 1991, makes provision for directions to be given to water companies which require them to take specific action in the interests of national security, or to mitigate the effects of a civil emergency. The Security and Emergency Measures (Water and Sewerage Undertakers) Direction 1998, issued under Section 208, directs them to maintain plans to provide a supply of water at all times, even in an emergency.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ofwat is reviewing the recent significant water supply issues some homes and businesses experienced in parts of England and Wales during the recent cold period. The review will look at the causes of the problems, and the response of water companies, with conclusions to be published by 15 June.<\/p>
<\/p>
This government will act decisively on any recommendations from Ofwat\u2019s review to ensure water companies work harder to minimise disruption to customers in the future.<\/p>

In 2017, Police and Crime Commissioners held over £1.6bn in financial reserves. This is public money and the public are entitled to more information around police plans for reserves and how those plans will support more effective policing. That is why in January 2018, we published details of reserves levels held in all police force areas in England and Wales. Alongside this, we provided new guidance requiring PCCs to publish their reserves strategies in plain English, with a clear justification for each reserve held, including how it will be used to help deliver a good quality service to the public. You can find this information at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-financial-reserves<\/a><\/p>"}
