unstar this property answer text <p>In the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, finalised on 14 July, Iran agreed that it will never seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons, and agreed to a far reaching set of measures to ensure that it will not be able to do so, including verifiable limits to its stockpiles of fissile material, numbers of centrifuges, nuclear research and development, and a re-design of its heavy water reactor at Arak. Having reached this important agreement, our focus and that of our E3+3 partners will now be on swift and full implementation to ensure that Iran abides by this and other commitments, and that a nuclear weapon remains beyond Iran's reach.</p><p> </p> more like this

The Forward Available Fleet comprises those aircraft that are serviceable and ready for operational deployment or training, together with aircraft that are short-term unserviceable. Short-term unserviceable aircraft are undergoing minor works, forward maintenance or any other unforeseen rectification or technical inspection work that can arise on a day-to-day basis.</p><p>I am withholding the number of Typhoon aircraft held at continuous ground readiness as its release would, or would be likely to prejudice the defence of the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Decisions on the part to be played by representatives of the Merchant Navy in the Festival of Remembrance are for the Royal British Legion (RBL), who organise the Festival. Our understanding from the RBL is that there will be a larger representation of serving Merchant Navy personnel at the Festival this year (normally there are five or six, but this year there will be around twenty). There will also be a small allocation of tickets to Merchant Navy veterans.</p><p> </p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The UK has a robust regulatory system and any nuclear reactor used in the UK must meet our rigorous safety, security and environmental standards. <br> <br> Government is aware of the issues in relation to the EPR at Flamanville and we continue to monitor the situation. The planned EPR at Hinkley Point C is subject to the UK regulatory regime. The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for safety regulation of the UK industry and remains appropriately engaged with the French nuclear regulator with regard to the issue at Flamanville. The ONR has said that they expect learning from the EPR under construction at Flamanville to be taken into account in the manufacture of components intended for the planned new reactor at Hinkley Point C.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
