answer text <p>The Government committed in 2010 to reduce the UK's nuclear weapons stockpile by the mid 2020s, down to no more than 120 operationally available warheads and no more than 180 warheads. Nevertheless, the United Kingdom will retain a credible, continuous and effective minimum nuclear deterrent for as long as the global security situation makes that necessary. The 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review sets out the Government's approach in more detail.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The FCO is currently unable to provide a detailed breakdown of all items damaged or destroyed by rioters at the British Embassy in Tehran in November 2011. Since visits to Tehran by UK officials recommenced on 3 December 2013 – after a gap of two years – it has only be possible to conduct preliminary assessments of the condition of the Embassy. A comprehensive assessment of the damage will require a detailed survey by a specialist. Planning is currently underway to conduct this survey as soon as is practical.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The ongoing crisis has clearly had a devastating impact on Christians, and on all of Syria's communities. We remain deeply concerned by the situation for Christian communities in Syria, including in Raqqah and Kessab.</p><p>This reinforces the need for us to support the moderate opposition who, as the UN Commission of Inquiry has acknowledged, have a pluralist and democratic vision for Syria and who are fighting extremist groups such as ISIL which pose a grave threat to Christians and others.</p> more like this
