star this property answer text <p>The UK continues to be deeply concerned by the tensions in the Gulf. The continuation of the dispute threatens the long-term security, stability and economies of States in the region and is in no-one's interests. The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, other Ministers and I are engaging with all our partners in the Gulf to encourage de-escalation and to get firmly behind Kuwait’s mediation efforts. For the Gulf’s stability and security it is crucial that Gulf Cooperation Council unity is restored. All sides need to maintain a dialogue and find a resolution that everyone can support to restore Gulf Cooperation Council unity. The Foreign Secretary is in regular contact with his counterparts on next steps.</p> more like this

Over £4 million from the fund has been awarded to Iraq across four projects. £3 million of this has been allocated to the British Museum's Rescue Archaeology Project. This project supplements the skills of a team of Iraqi national heritage sector workers to assess and record the condition of heritage sites and carry out rescue archaeology as a preliminary to reconstruction at sites damaged by Daesh. The first cohort of Iraqi archaeologists completed their training in 2016 and the second cohort completed their training earlier this year in London.</p><p>The UK is also funding: the University of Manchester, working with the State Board for Antiquities and Heritage in Iraq, to survey and document the pre-Islamic Alexandrian city of Charax, as well as 14 other sites in Iraq; and the University of Liverpool to record, preserve and promote understanding of Yezidi heritage and identity.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The current cholera outbreak in Yemen has been declared by the UN as the worst in the world. Since the start of the outbreak in April, over 250,000 cholera cases have been recorded with more than 1,600 deaths. Children make up 46% of the cases, which are still increasing at a rate of 6,500 a day.</p><p>In response, the UK has increased our funding for Yemen to £139 million for 2017/18. This includes support to tackle the underlying causes of cholera by helping provide emergency food, nutrition, health, water and sanitation, as well as supporting cholera prevention and providing medical supplies and treatment for those affected. In addition, the UK is helping to fund one million lifesaving cholera vaccines through GAVI, the Global Vaccine Alliance.</p><p>The UK is the second largest donor to the UN’s Yemen appeal, and continues active lobbying for a political solution as well for others in the international community to step up co-ordinated action and funding.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>According to the latest provisional statistics released by HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC), fuel duties raised £27.9bn in the 2016-17 tax year. Forecasts for fuel duty revenues in future years are provided by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in their ‘Economic and Fiscal Outlook’. For the latest fuel duty revenue forecast, please see Table 4.6 on page 104:</p><p><a href="http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2017/" target="_blank">http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2017/</a></p><p> </p><p>The OBR do not publish forecasts of tax receipts past the five-year ‘scorecard’ period (currently ending in 2021-22). However, in their 2014 ‘Fiscal Sustainability Report’ they did assess the sustainability of fuel duty revenues over a longer period. Please see Chapter 4 (page 123) of the report for more information:</p><p><a href="http://cdn.budgetresponsibility.org.uk/41298-OBR-accessible.pdf" target="_blank">http://cdn.budgetresponsibility.org.uk/41298-OBR-accessible.pdf</a></p>
