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.

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>Conflict in northern Nigeria has caused great suffering in communities of different faiths and ethnicities. Representatives of The Government maintain regular contact with religious and ethnic community leaders across Nigeria. We recognise there are tensions in many parts of the country, including in the north east, middle belt and the Niger Delta. Recent attacks by Boko Haram have been indiscriminate, but it is almost certain that these attacks have killed more Muslims than Christians.</p><p>We recognise the underlying issues of poverty and inequality, which lead to inter-communal tensions and conflict in Nigeria and we urge political, traditional and religious leaders to work together in order to resolve these issues. The Department for International Development (DFID), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) continue to fund a range of conflict resolution projects across Nigeria designed to address these problems. We currently have an expert team in Abuja to help Nigeria deal with the abduction of the school girls from Chibok and to also look at addressing longer term challenges, including inter-communal tensions.</p>
