Since August 2014 the UK has gifted urgent lethal military support to the Peshmerga in the form of heavy machine guns and ammunition to Kurdish forces at the request of the Iraqi Government in Baghdad.<\/p>

Non-lethal items such as Halal rations, sleeping bags, body armour and helmets have also been supplied. In addition, we have assisted with the delivery of munitions and equipment on behalf of other Coalition members.<\/p>

In January 2011, the Defence Support Group (DSG) commissioned a study on behalf of the Ministry of Defence through their existing facilities' management provider, Babcock, to assess the maintenance work required to enable the DSG to safely undertake vehicle and equipment operation from specified buildings on the site at Ashchurch until 2016. The study, submitted in February 2011, estimated that the cost 'to make safe' the site for the five year period would be £2.863 million excluding VAT. The study report was passed to the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and Defence Equipment and Support for the recommendations to be acted upon.<\/p>

There is no cap in the contract for difference for Hinkley Point C on the operator\u2019s liability for decommissioning costs.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s policy is that operators of new nuclear power stations must have arrangements in place to meet the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management and disposal costs. This policy is being implemented through a framework created by the Energy Act 2008. The Energy Act requires operators of new nuclear power stations to have a Funded Decommissioning Programme approved by the Secretary of State in place before construction of a new nuclear power station begins and to comply with this programme thereafter.<\/p>

Our Forestry and Woodland Policy Statement, published in January 2013, set out our three overall policy priorities. These are to protect, improve and expand our woodland resource. We are now implementing the actions we proposed to achieve these objectives. We have made tree and plant health a high priority as demonstrated in our recent Tree Heath Management Plan; and we are seeing increases in the area of woodland under management. Taken together with relevant regulatory frameworks regarding the felling of trees, they will significantly help to protect our woodlands from degradation and deforestation.<\/p>

The National Probation Service (NPS) and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) were resourced to deliver their core duties at the point of commencing the new structures on 1 June 2014, for a period of shadow running prior to the transition in the public sector.<\/p>

<\/p>

CRCs are responsible for managing their own vacancies, and we are providing support and advice where required during the transition.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are implementing a new reporting tool for the National Probation Service from November 2014 which will enable us to capture NPS vacancies centrally to support our workforce planning.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prior to June 2014 probation services were delivered by 35 Probation Trusts.
