	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>(a) The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) reviews all magazine subscriptions annually. Titles are provided electronically wherever possible to ensure efficiency and best value for money.</p><p>The FCO does not hold centrally separate data on magazine subscriptions. The majority of decisions on subscriptions are made by the UK’s Embassies and diplomatic posts and are funded from within their delegated budgets, or by individual departments within the FCO on the same basis. As a result comprehensive information on individual publications is not centrally recorded and collating this information would incur disproportionate cost. The following is the list of magazines provided centrally, in the majority of cases in electronic format, as of July 2014:</p><p>American Journal of International Law, Civil Wars, Critical Studies on Terrorism, International Peacekeeping, Turkish Studies, Common Market Law Review, Current Legal Problems, Human Rights Quarterly, ICSID Review - Foreign Investment Law Journal, International Community Law Review, International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law, Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies, Journal of Private International Law, Law and Practice of International Courts and Tribunals, Legal Issues of Economic Integration : Academic – Government, Modern Law Review, Ocean Development and International Law, Military Balance, Global Governance, Journal of Common Market Studies, Project Manager Today, Eurasian Geography and Economics, Journal of Democracy, Post-Soviet Affairs, RUSI Journal and Whitehall Papers, Africa Confidential, Comparative Strategy, Conflict Management and Peace Science, Conflict Security and Development, Economic and Political Weekly, Eye Spy Magazine, IISS Publications Combined, Intelligence and National Security, International Affairs, International Journal of Human Rights, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence, Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, Journal of Strategic Studies, Marston World Wide, Monde Diplomatique, Oxford Scholarly Authorities on International Law, Prospect, Science, Terrorism and Political Violence, Washington Quarterly, Inside Us Trade and World Trade, Jane's Defence News, Jane's Security News, Science Direct.</p><p>The breadth of magazines reflects the wide range of issues, events and crises the FCO’s staff around the world need to keep track of in order to protect Britain’s interests at home and overseas.</p><p>The total cost of these magazine subscriptions was £52,964. Total FCO expenditure on publications has fallen by 16% since 2010.</p><p>(b) The FCO does not spend any money on premium satellite television channels in the UK. The Digital television system used by the FCO is provided through our support agreement with FCO Services. It has been in place for five years and all 85 channels available are free to air and are therefore subscription free.</p><p>This does not capture subscriptions sourced locally overseas as it would incur disproportionate cost to obtain this information.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 21/07/2014 12:02:01 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2015 answer text <p>(a) We remain deeply concerned about deteriorating human rights in Russia and regularly make this clear in bilateral interactions at all levels. I discussed human rights with the Russian Ambassador in London at our last meeting on 18 December. The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right honourable and noble friend Baroness Anelay, discussed human rights with the Russian Ambassador on 25 November. The British Embassy in Moscow regularly raises our concerns about human rights with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, most recently with Foreign Minister Lavrov on 13 January.</p><p>(b) We have raised concerns about LGBT rights in Russia bilaterally at a number of levels since the law banning the promotion of “non-traditional” sexual relations among minors was passed in June 2013. I raised concerns about the protection of LGBT people in Russia with the Russian Ambassador at our last meeting on 18 December. Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials also discussed the safety of participants at LGBT events with the Russian authorities in November, and they regularly meet with LGBT activists and attend LGBT events to provide support.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 20/01/2015 15:50:41 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
