Written Question
Religious Freedom
Monday 11th December 2017

Asked by: Lord Suri (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Foreign and Commonwealth Office intends to establish a fund for programmes supporting freedom of religion or belief.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The protection of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) continues to be a priority for the UK Government. Projects that directly support FoRB overseas are funded through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)'s Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy. In 2017/18 the Magna Carta Fund will spend £758,717 on six FoRB projects. We will open for bids to support FoRB work in the 2018/19 financial year, early in the next calendar year.

Written Question
NHS: Amazon
Thursday 27th July 2017

Asked by: Lord Suri (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

Her Majesty's Government what level of grant-in-aid funding was provided to each service within the BBC World Service in each of the financial years 1987–88 to 2014–15; and, for each service, how much of that funding was allocated to (1) operating grants-in-aid, and (2) capital grants.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The overall information on grant-in-aid funding to the BBC World Service is available to Parliament through the Supplementary Estimates, however the information for each service is not available. The Supplementary Estimates should be available online for a large part of the period in question but the Parliamentary library should hold the information for the whole period in question.
