answer text <p>We have announced that we will launch a 12 week consultation, before the end of this year, on increasing rates of organ donation, including a new “opt out” system of consent for England. The consultation will seek views on:</p><p> </p><p>- How to increase rates of organ donation, particularly from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities;</p><p>- How the issue of consent should be managed within the National Health Service;</p><p>- How technology could help people to discuss their preferences with family; and</p><p>- How opt out could work in practice, the safeguards needed and how families could be supported.</p><p> </p><p>The major religions in the United Kingdom support the idea of organ donation and transplantation. However, the Government will carefully consult, listen and take account of the views from people from a diverse range of ethnic, religious and cultural communities when considering any changes to the law.</p><p> </p><p>We are still committed to campaigns to raise awareness, and encourage families and friends to discuss their wishes on organ donation.</p><p> </p><p>More information about religious views and principles on organ donation can be found at:</p><p><a href="http://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/about-donation/what-does-my-religion-say/" target="_blank">http://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/about-donation/what-does-my-religion-say/</a></p>

answer text <p>The Government supports the recommendation in the recent Financial Advice Market Review (FAMR) against the introduction of a fixed 15-year long-stop. A fixed 15-year long-stop is not in the interests of consumers as it could limit the protection available on long-term investment products, where consumers may not realise they have a cause for complaint for more than 15 years. It is important that consumers can seek redress where it is due, so that they have the confidence to engage with financial services firms.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are committed to the full implementation of the Iran nuclear deal – the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – by all parties. Iran is in compliance with its nuclear-related commitments, as confirmed by the 31 August report of the International Atomic Energy Agency. UN Security Council Resolution 2231 calls upon Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Since July 2015, Iran has carried out a number of ballistic missile tests and has launched a space launch vehicle using such technology. This activity is not a breach of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. But it is inconsistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and we have written to the UN Secretary General with France, Germany and the US to express our concern. We call upon Iran to refrain from such activity.</p><p>We condemn North Korea's illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. We are monitoring its programme developments, as the Foreign Secretary alluded to during his remarks to Parliament on 5 September. The assessment of any links between Iran and North Korea is sensitive information. It is the long-standing policy of the Government not to comment on matters relating to intelligence or national security.</p>
