answer text <p>The table below shows the UK contributions to the World Bank (specifically to IBRD, the non-concessional lending arm of the World Bank) in paid in capital and callable capital in each of the last five years.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that the UK did not pay in additional capital to IBRD or contribute additional callable capital in 2010. Additional contributions to multilateral development bank’s capital are infrequent and only happen through General or Selective Capital Increases (known as GCIs and SCIs). The most recent of these for IBRD became effective in 2011.</p><p> </p><p>The paid in amount is fixed in US dollar terms. As such the Sterling amount varies slightly each year depending on the exchange rate. The callable element increases on a pro-rata basis as each paid in contribution is made and is reported in US Dollars in IBRD’s accounts.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>Paid- in capital - Sterling paid equivalent </strong><strong>to US $31,114,059</strong></p><p><strong> (paid in December of each stated year)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Callable capital (as stated in IBRD audited </strong><strong>accounts at June 30th of following year)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p>n/a</p></td><td><p>$7,832.2m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><br> £19,957,703</p></td><td><p>$8,319.6m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p>£19,451,149</p></td><td><p>$8,807.1m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p>£19,047,480</p></td><td><p>$9,294.4m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p>£19,915,547</p></td><td><p>$9,781.9m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text Whilst we cannot interfere in the investigation or judicial processes in that country, we will also consider making appropriate representations to the local authorities if there are concerns that the investigation is not carried out in line with local procedures; if there are justified complaints about discrimination against the person who has died or their family; or where we judge that a local delay or decisions creates significant distress for the bereaved. Details of the support we offer to all British victims of crimes overseas are set out in our public statement: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/317474/FCO_Brits_Abroad_2014.pdf The investigation of crimes overseas are the responsibility of the country in which they occurred. We cannot interfere in investigations overseas and may be considered a third party by some countries and therefore not entitled to updates on the investigation or court process. We recommend that families engage a local lawyer who can make efforts to ensure that local standards are met and can seek updates from the local authorities and courts. We do though retain close interest in cases, and seek updates where we are able to. We can also formally note our interest in an investigation, in particular if a British National is murdered or dies in suspicious circumstances.
