UK Border Agency was abolished in March 2013.<\/p>

It is not possible to readily provide a direct like for like comparison of the average number of passengers passing through a single manned control compared to the average number passing through an ePassport (electronic) gate at peak times.<\/p>

One assistant Border Force Officer is able to monitor a bank of five ePassport Gates, dealing with a greater volume of passengers, compared to one Border Force Officer operating a single manual desk.<\/p>

Border Force has a programme in place to roll out new and faster ePassport gates at key UK ports including Heathrow. This will allow Border Force to deal with an increased number of passengers effectively and efficiently whilst maintaining border security.<\/p>

The Government is committed to tackling cybercrime internationally, and has taken a number of steps to support international cooperation in this area. The UK strongly supports the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime which we ratified in 2011, as the main global framework for effective international cooperation to tackle cybercrime. The Convention is open to all countries, and we encourage them to accede to it.<\/p>

The Government is firmly focused on developing practical cooperation and capacity to tackle cybercrime through existing institutions, rather than developing additional international treaties. The UK leads international efforts to raise global cyber resilience through our £2 million per year capacity-building programme, working with the National Crime Agency and multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe and others, to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the threat from cyber crime.<\/p>

The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) is a \u20ac21bn guarantee fund which seeks to leverage other sources of investment, with the aim of delivering a total estimated target of \u20ac315bn in investment in the European economy.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The funding for the EFSI\u2019s first loss \u20ac21bn guarantee will be backed by the EU Budget (\u20ac16bn) and the EIB (\u20ac5bn). All EU Member States, including the UK, contribute to the guarantee through our shareholding at the EIB, and as a contributor to the EU Budget. No Member States have committed bilateral funding to the EFSI, though some Member States have announced an intention to partner with the EFSI through their National Promotional Banks by contributing to projects benefiting from finance by the EFSI.<\/p>
