answer text <p>In 2016, UK exports of goods and services with countries with which the EU has existing free trade agreements, or with which the EU has concluded draft free trade agreements, accounted for 17% of the value of total UK exports to the world (equivalent to £92bn exports out of a total of £547.5bn).</p><p>Free trade agreements are only one of the channels that can impact the volume of trade.

answer text <p>Because the number of academy trusts increased between 2012 and 2015, the number and proportion of trusts which are recorded as having spent more than their incomes between 2012-13 and 2014-15 are taken from a range of Statistical First Releases (SFRs). The SFRs are experimental statistics using data from the benchmarking section of the account returns for the academic years. In summary:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Single Academy trusts</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of single academy trusts</p></td><td><p>1,625</p></td><td><p>2,141</p></td><td><p>2,195</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of single academy trusts recorded as having spent more than their income per year</p></td><td><p>692</p></td><td><p>895</p></td><td><p>1,164</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Proportion of single academy trusts recorded as having spent more than their income per year</p></td><td><p>42.6%</p></td><td><p>41.8%</p></td><td><p>53.0%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Multi Academy trusts</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of multi academy trusts</p></td><td><p>135</p></td><td><p>496</p></td><td><p>691</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of multi academy trusts recorded as having spent more than their income per year</p></td><td><p>34</p></td><td><p>193</p></td><td><p>363</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Proportion of multi academy trusts recorded as having spent more than their income per year</p></td><td><p>25.2%</p></td><td><p>38.9%</p></td><td><p>52.5%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>In 2014-15 737 of 1,231 (59.9%) of secondary single academy trusts spent more than their incomes. In the same year, 487 of 906 (53.8%) of secondary academies within multi academy trusts spent more than their incomes.</p><p> </p><p>This answer relates to expenditure and income in year, rather than to whether academy trusts have an overall surplus or deficit. At the end of the year 2014/15 only 113 (4.0%) of academy trusts reported a cumulative deficit.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government what recent representations they have received about the interpretation and implementation of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the actions by ISIS against Christians and other minorities in Syria and Iraq; what response they are making to such representations; and what specific actions they intend to take to establish an international consensus on these matters. more like this

answer text <p>The British Government has received a number of recent representations on these issues from Parliament and members of the public and is responding in writing.</p><p>We condemn in the strongest possible terms the atrocities committed by Daesh against all civilians, including Christians, Mandeans, Yazidis, and other minorities, as well as the majority Muslim population who continue to bear the brunt of Daesh’s brutality. The UK has led efforts within the UN to tackle and condemn Daesh and on the protection of civilians more widely. For example, we co-sponsored the UN Human Rights Council Resolution mandating the UN to investigate and report on Daesh abuses.</p><p>It is a long-standing Government policy that any judgements on whether genocide has occurred are a matter for the international judicial system rather than governments or other non-judicial bodies.</p><p>Ultimately, the only way to protect Christians, Yazidis and other minorities in the region from Daesh is by defeating this terrible organisation, which in turn requires, amongst other things, ending the conflict in Syria. The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), set out the UK’s comprehensive strategy for defeating Daesh and finding a political settlement to the Syria conflict in his response to the Foreign Affairs Committee on 26 November 2015.</p><p>The joint Office of the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect (the Office) are engaged with these issues and publish much of their activity online, including statements in relation to the situation of Christians and other minorities in Syria and Iraq. Our officials maintain regular contact with officials from the Office to discuss issues related to the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. The Government provides funding for the Office, including for their work with religious leaders and faith based organisations in the Middle East and North Africa region, aimed at the prevention of incitement to violence that could lead to atrocity crimes.</p>
