answer text <p>The Armed Forces Covenant is a statement of the moral obligation which exists between the nation, the Government, and the Armed Forces. The Covenant is not an entity which provides any direct service. It is possible that the Noble Lord is referring to Op COURAGE, the current NHS England mental health initiative targeted at veterans. If so, I regret that the Ministry of Defence cannot comment on mental health provision across the UK, as this is not a Defence matter. Health is a devolved responsibility and, since 1948, it has been the policy of successive Governments that the NHS should be the main provider of healthcare, including mental healthcare, for veterans.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We regularly make clear, using a range of Ministerial and diplomatic channels, that the British Government opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and in every country. The former Minister for the Middle East and North Africa raised our concerns about the death penalty with Deputy Justice Minister HE Abdullah Al Sulaimi on 11 February.</p><p>Our most recent assessment of Saudi Arabia's human rights record was published in our latest Human Rights and Democracy Report, published in June 2019. Saudi Arabia remains a Foreign and Commonwealth Office human rights priority country, particularly because of the use of the death penalty and restrictions on women's rights, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion or belief. The Foreign Secretary raised our human rights concerns with Saudi Arabia during his visit in March.</p><p>We are aware of a potential takeover bid for Newcastle United Football Club involving Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The bid is being considered by the Premier League in accordance with its own established procedures.</p>
