Lord Alton of Liverpool

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking through their Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) programme to address attacks on Christians in that country, following the murder of a family of six who were burned alive on 23 January.
Lord Benyon
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK Government condemns all incidents of violence against civilians in Nigeria. This affects all faith and non-faith communities, including Christians. The Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria programme (SPRING) will help Nigeria address the root causes of conflict in the Middle Belt and beyond by supporting and shifting incentives of stakeholders, so they are more willing and able to respond to conflict, security, justice and natural resource management challenges in target areas.
