Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the comments by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park on 21 June (HL Deb col 253–255), whether they have any further information concerning the attack on the Mpondwe Lhubiriha Secondary School in Uganda on 16 June; and what discussions they have had with international partners about providing assistance to the Ugandan authorities to bring those responsible to justice.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK condemns the 16 June attack on Lhubiriha Secondary School in Mpondwe, Uganda. The Minister for Development and the British High Commissioner both issued a tweet on 17 June sending their condolences to those affected. As of 20 June, there were 42 deaths of which 37 were students. There are five to seven individuals believed to be abducted. The Ugandan security services continue their efforts to track down the perpetrators. The British High Commission in Kampala remains in close contact with the Ugandan authorities and no requests for assistance have been made. Those responsible must be brought to justice.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park on 1 June (HL7914), whether the partners with whom they collaborate with regard to foreign aid spending on sexual and reproductive health include relevant elected officials in the countries concerned, particularly with regard to any expenditure in relation to abortion.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The FCDO collaborates with a range of partners to protect and progress universal, comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Where these collaborations are with country governments they will often include elected individuals. Finally, all Overseas Development Assistance spent on increasing access to safe abortion operates within national laws in every country receiving UK funds.
