I regularly discuss law enforcement and human rights in Bahrain with Bahraini Ministers.

Our ambassador in Bahrain meets Bahraini Government officials on a regular basis to discuss a wide range of issues, including security and law enforcement.

We are aware of protests against the Formula One Grand Prix in Bahrain.

Everyone will want to send condolences to those who have been affected by the bombing that took place during the Boston marathon on Monday. This Sunday 37,500 runners will take part in the London marathon, and hundreds of thousands of people will line the streets to cheer them on. Some will be cheering on my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley Central (Dan Jarvis), and we wish him all the best.
Given that the London marathon is one of the greatest occasions in the annual sporting calendar for the United Kingdom, may I invite the Secretary of State to deliver some words of reassurance, and to
update us on discussions in which she has engaged with the aim of ensuring that that sporting event on Sunday is what we remember?

The hon. Gentleman is right to bring that up.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the security situation in the Central African Republic.
[151021]
I am greatly concerned about reports of violence and looting in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR); about water, food and power shortages; and the difficulties humanitarian agencies are facing in accessing those affected. I am also concerned about reports of human rights violations across the country. UK officials have been working closely with French colleagues in Bangui and Paris to ensure the safety of British nationals.
I condemn Seleka’s unconstitutional takeover of power in CAR. HMG is working with partners in the UN, EU and elsewhere, to ensure that the international community’s
response supports long-term democracy, stability and security in CAR. This should include a return, where possible, to the principles of the 11 January Libreville Agreement.

The decision to classify a particular country as fragile and conflict affected is made using three publicly available indices as laid out in my previous answer (150545). The process of identification helps us implement the National Security Strategy task of tackling the root causes of instability as well as focus effort in the implementation of the 2010 cross-government strategic defence and security review. Although not directly involved in determining the classification of states, MOD and the FCO are involved in addressing their needs through the Building Stability Overseas Strategy.
