answer text <p>Natural England is the statutory nature conservation body in England.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently 224 National Nature Reserves (NNRs) in England, with an approximate area of 94,000 hectares. Natural England manages in whole or in part 143 NNRs, with a total area of approximately 65,000 hectares. Of these, Natural England owns about 20,000 hectares, leases about 30,000 hectares, and manages about 15,000 hectares under Nature Reserve Agreements. The remainder are managed by 53 'Approved Bodies' (organisations approved by Natural England to manage NNRs under Section 35 Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981). Almost all NNRs are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) (over 99% by area) and 84% is designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), or both.</p><p> </p><p>Defra does not hold information on individual land ownership outside the government estate, although many environmental non-government organisations are open about the size of their land holdings. For example, the National Trust and the RSPB, both of whom own significant area of land, publish data and maps of their reserve boundaries across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>The public forest estate in England, which is managed by Forest Enterprise England (an executive agency sponsored by the Forestry Commission), covers over 250,000 hectares and is managed for multiple purposes, including conservation.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>To be eligible to join the British Armed Forces an individual must be a British, Irish or Commonwealth citizen, either as a sole or dual national. As Fiji is a member of the Commonwealth, its citizens are eligible to apply to join. There is no recruitment process specifically for Fijian nationals. All British, Irish and Commonwealth nationals are required to make an online application and, if successful, will then go through the recruitment and selection assessment process in the UK for the Service they are applying to join.</p><p> </p><p>Information held by the Ministry of Defence on the numbers of Regular personnel who reported a Fijian nationality on joining the British Armed Forces in each Financial Year (FY) since 1998-99 is provided in the following table.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Number of Regular personnel reporting a Fijian nationality on intake to the British Armed Forces (FYs 1998-99 to 2017-18)</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>FY</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Royal Navy/Royal Marines</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Army</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Royal Air Force (RAF)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>160</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>160</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>70</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>70</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>10</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>10</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>20</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>50</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>70</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>40</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>50</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008-09</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>140</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>170</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007-08</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>220</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p><strong>240</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006-07</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p><strong>20</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005-06</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>110</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>110</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004-05</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>220</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>220</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2003-04</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>280</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>280</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2002-03</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>470</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>470</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2001-02</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>490</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>490</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2000-01</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>260</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>260</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1999-00</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>320</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>320</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1998-99</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p><strong>20</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>110</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 2,980 </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>10</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 3,100 </strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ol><li>Nationality is not part of the Royal Navy/Royal Marines and RAF legacy datasets (data held prior to the introduction of the Joint Personnel Administration System) and as such figures for these Services are included only from 2007-08 for Royal Navy/Royal Marines and 2006-07 for RAF.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="2"><li>The declaration rate for nationality on intake for FY 2017-18 is 99.1%.

answer text <p>All Service personnel, including Commanding Officers of ballistic missile submarines, receive training on the law of armed conflict (LOAC), including during initial basic training phases, staff courses and promotion courses. Personnel are also required to undertake annual LOAC training to agreed standards.</p><p>Her Majesty's Government, which receives legal advice, is clear that the use of nuclear weapons - like all weapons - would be subject to the requirements of the LOAC. Only the Prime Minister can authorise the firing of nuclear weapons and the Commanding Officer of the ballistic missile submarine must confirm that the authorisation to fire meets the rigorous authentication processes in place.</p> more like this
