Mr Lidington
There will be Home Office questions on Monday 31 October. The hon. Gentleman may have the opportunity to raise his concern then.
Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)
Yesterday, I met Reverend Yunusa Nmadu from Christian Solidarity Worldwide. He said that Boko Haram continues to kidnap and brutally assault thousands of young Christian girls and marry them off. Will the Leader of the House agree to a statement or debate on this matter?
Mr Lidington
The British Government are doing all they can to support the Nigerian authorities, both in getting the return of the girls who have been abducted and ensuring there is effective action against the scourge of Boko Haram.
