answer text <p>The UK is working closely with its international partners and United Nations to reinvigorate the political process in Libya. We support Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) Bathily's efforts to outline a way forward to a unified Government. As UN Security Council penholder, the UK engages internationally to support SRSG Bathily's efforts, particularly with the region. The UK regularly calls for the withdrawal of foreign mercenaries and works closely with Libyan interlocutors through the Security Working Group on disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration of Libya's security actors.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is open to participation in the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). The ability to voluntarily participate in the activities of ENISA is included in Part 4 of the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. It is not for the UK, as a non-member of the EU, to comment on the budget of an EU institution.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Violent crime recorded by the police, including knife crime has been increasing since 2014. Most of the recorded increase is thought to be due to improvements in police recording of crime following a critical HMIC report in 2014. However, some recent increases in knife crime in some areas of the country are thought to be real increases. The Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation programme launched in January 2016 has built on the work of the previous Ending Gang and Youth Violence programme. It has had a particular focus on tacking county lines and the associated abuse and violence. This includes a programme of local reviews to build resilience in areas to gang related violence and exploitation. We have just announced an extended programme of reviews and support for 2017/18.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government is aware of the parallel trade in medicines within the European Union, which is permitted under European legislation. The strong pound sterling makes it much less attractive for these traders to export from the United Kingdom to other member states and the export of medicines has therefore decreased in recent years.</p><p> </p> more like this
