	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>There are currently no plans to extend shari'ah compliant financing into the UK banking system, but the Government will continue to work with the financial services industry to broaden the range of shari'ah compliant products and services available in the UK, and encourage the industry to play its part. The Government welcomes, for example, the recent creation of an Islamic Account by Lloyds Bank. This account allows customers who cannot receive credit or debit interest due to their religious beliefs to hold a bank account in the UK and is available to all UK citizens regardless of background or faith.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, The Bank of England has recently announced that it will be commencing work to assess the feasibility of establishing a shari'ah compliant facility next year, which the Government welcomes. Any such facility will help Islamic banks in the UK to better meet their obligations under the liquidity rules, bringing Islamic finance further into the mainstream.</p> question first answered 23/10/2014 13:56:47

It is allowed to prisoners only towards the end of their time in custody and only after a thorough risk assessment.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>South Sudan’s leaders need to take ultimate responsibility for the humanitarian situation, and the UK continues to urge the government and opposition to act now to stop the fighting and start to build a lasting peace and make every effort to allow aid to quickly reach their people.</p><p> </p><p>In the meantime, the need for life-saving humanitarian assistance and delivery of basic services remains critical. During my visit to South Sudan in September this year, I raised the issue of food security in discussions with Government. The UK engages with the relevant ministers, ministries and sector working groups and through the Government Partner Forum. DFID-funded health programmes work in close collaboration with government, and DFID support has been instrumental in pioneering a government-led health sector plan and in strengthening government health systems. A DFID-funded programme in 3 northern states of South Sudan, which works alongside government, is expected to enable 175,000 to become food secure by the end of 2014. The UK, with other donors and UN agencies, is working with the Ministry of Agriculture to agree the content and conditions necessary for signing of the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Process Compact. This will support food security through a 10% allocation of the national budget to the agricultural sector.</p><p> </p> question first answered 23/10/2014 13:29:18
