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

DFID also has an extensive portfolio of programmes helping Nigeria to provide long-term security for its citizens, particularly working to prevent violence against women and girls. For example, DFID's Nigeria Stability and Reconciliation Programme is already scaling up its work in Borno State, and my officials are currently investigating what further support we can offer both in terms of education and security programmes.</p><p> </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.
