I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.<\/p>
We want to help British businesses take advantage of the opportunities that economic re-engagement with Iran will bring. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) are engaging with UK businesses to provide support and assistance to help ensure they benefit from opportunities as they arise. UKTI now have a presence in the British Embassy in Tehran.<\/p>
During his visit to Tehran in October, my noble Friend the Minister for Trade and Investment, Lord Maude, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with his Iranian counterpart that sets the direction for our future economic and business relationship.<\/p>
There is a desire on both sides to build a long-term bilateral relationship based on partnership, where trade and investment is a key pillar.<\/p>

Between September 2011 and June 2014, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) ran a redundancy programme resulting in 12,134 Service personnel being selected for redundancy, of which 10,851 used a billable Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Service. All Regular and Gurkha personnel leaving the UK Armed Forces through the redundancy programme were entitled to receive the highest level of support through the Full Resettlement Programme (FRP) (now called the Core Resettlement Programme). The MOD has no records of any personnel electing to use a lower level of provision.<\/p>
The estimated cost incurred through the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) contract to support Service personnel made redundant between June 2011 and September 2014 was £5.2 million.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "125762"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-07T16:34:19.99Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Armed Forces: Redundancy"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many personnel made redundant from the armed forces between September 2011 and June 2014 used (a) the Core Resettlement Programme (b) Career Transition Partnership (c) CTP Future Horizons and (d) the Employment Support Programme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1438", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Kevan Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Durham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Kevan Jones"} ], "uin" : "125765"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832955", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832955/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
