star this property answer text <p>UK Export Finance sets its total risk appetite for each country by taking into account the size of that country's economy and the level of risk. Its assessment framework is aligned with that used by the credit rating agency, Standard &amp; Poor's (S&amp;P), but is additionally informed by cross-Whitehall forums, local UK diplomatic representatives, OECD country risk expert meetings and country visits, where appropriate.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Following agreement of the European Council on the EU Budget for 2014 to 2020, the Government decided in 2013 to maintain the historic split of the UK’s CAP direct payments budget between England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. This decision followed consultation with key stakeholders in each part of the UK and each of the devolved administrations.</p><p> </p><p>The decision recognised that not all parts of the UK had yet completed the transition to area based payments, making comparisons difficult. Scotland received less funding per hectare than other parts of the UK because of its mountainous, and therefore less productive, areas. Scotland has, on average, larger farms than the rest of the UK meaning Scottish farmers received higher than average payments.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Prime Minister has announced that a full independent public inquiry will consider the causes of the Grenfell Tower fire. The inquiry will be chaired by Sir Martin Moore-Bick and conducted under the Inquiries Act 2005 including the power to compel the production of documents, and to summon witnesses to give evidence on oath. We expect the inquiry to produce an interim report as early as possible. The Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation into the fire on 15 June, which is ongoing.</p> more like this
