As always, the hon. Gentleman has a fine recollection of the facts and makes an excellent point.
It is important to state that Russia is one of the most dangerous places on earth to be a journalist. It is worth putting on the record the extraordinary bravery of journalists going right...

I thank the Minister for his generosity in giving way. On that productive relationship and cultural exchanges—he may not be able to answer this question just now, but he can write to me or ask the Foreign Secretary to write to me—will he guarantee funding for organisations such as the...

I did not want to intervene again, but I feel obliged to do so. The Minister refers to a former Member of Parliament, but current Conservative Members are getting paid for appearances on RT. Does he think that that should be cracked down on?

I thank the Foreign Secretary for early sight of his statement. First, on Syria, Scottish National party Members obviously welcome any reversals of Daesh, and we welcome the short-term humanitarian help that is being provided to the people of Syria. The Foreign Secretary will be aware that there must be...

We welcome the political deal signed on 31 December between the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the main political parties. As I said in a statement on 6 January, it is imperative that this deal is implemented as soon as possible so that elections can take place this year. The UK will work to ensure that the elections will be free and fair and collaborate with international partners to support a peaceful transfer of power once the new President has been elected.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on President Joseph Kabila's commitment not to seek re-election in 2017.
We welcome the political deal signed on 31 December between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the main political parties, which included the commitment by President Kabila to step down in 2017. We applaud the perseverance of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Congo (CENCO) in achieving this. I said in my statement of 6 January, it is imperative that this deal is implemented as soon as possible so that elections can take place this year.
I visited the DRC last year with Parliamentary Under Secetary of State for International Development, James Wharton MP and met with senior government and opposition figures. We both pressed the need for Kabila to step down and hold elections, as well as respecting human rights. We continue to encourage the Government and the opposition to cooperate and consolidate the progress they have already made.
The UK has earmarked £11.4 million to support a transparent electoral process provided that a realistic budget and timetable are released, and all the conditions set out in the Constitution and in UN Security Council Resolution 2277 are met. The EU and a number of nations, including the US have made similar pledges.

The UK currently provides support to increase the democratic representation of women and youth, protect human rights defenders and broaden electoral observation activities.
Last year, we announced that additional funding would be made available to update the national electoral roll, if all parties were prepared to hold free, fair and timely elections. That offer remains on the table, and the recent political accord signed in the DRC is a marker of growing commitment to hold elections.
