Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of recent sectarian atrocities and abductions of children in Nigeria, and the underlying causes; and what recent discussions they have had with the government of Nigeria about securing the release of abductees and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

I refer the Noble Lord to the written statement that I made to the House on 27 November (UIN HLWS1104).
