To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of media freedom in Belarus; and what steps she is taking to support independent journalists and media organisations operating in and reporting on that country.
Media freedom in Belarus remains severely restricted, with recent steps such as the designation of BBC Russian‑language content as "extremist material" underlining the ongoing deterioration. The UK supports independent journalists and media organisations through our wider work on human rights and media freedom, including engagement with civil society and support for organisations in exile.
We also raise our concerns in international fora, including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and UN, and support programmes to strengthen media resilience and the safety of journalists, including through our wider work as current co-chair of the Media Freedom Coalition.
The Prime Minister and I met Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya this month to reiterate UK support for the democratic rights of the Belarusian people.

The United Kingdom and Poland are close partners in tackling illegal migration and the organised criminal networks that underpin it. While we face different illegal migration challenges at our respective borders, cooperation between our law enforcement agencies and Ministries is essential.
We welcome Poland’s measures to reduce illegal migration and combat people-smuggling through Europe. Utilising the recently signed Security and Defence Treaty, the Secretary of State will deliver a Joint Action Plan to strengthen this partnership, improve our existing understanding and cooperation. The Home Office will do this by enhancing intelligence sharing, supporting joint operational activity, and improving our ability to target smuggling networks, including their use of online platforms. It also enables both countries to share expertise, including where measures could be translated into different environments, and make use of advanced technologies to strengthen border security and inform policy making.
The Home Office and the Polish Ministry of the Interior are monitoring delivery of the Joint Action Plan on an ongoing basis through regular operational engagement and future UK–Poland Migration Dialogue discussions. A full evaluation has not yet been undertaken; however, operational outcomes are routinely monitored, and metrics are being developed to assess overall effectiveness.
