answer text <p>Defra spent £8.3 million in 2013-14 under its core adapting to climate change programme. This included £1.6 million to the Environment Agency’s Climate Ready Support Service (CRSS) to help organisations across England adapt to a changing climate, through targeted engagement with key sectors and their representative bodies. Adaptation is mainstreamed across Government, and other Defra programmes also communicate climate change and impacts to their respective partners and sectors. Defra also participates in a DECC-led cross-Government communications group promoting unified and consistent messaging on climate change.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Defra continues to help build the nation’s resilience to a changing climate primarily through the implementation of the first National Adaptation Programme report published last July, the implementation of our Strategy for the second round of the Adaptation Reporting Power and improving our understanding of climate risk through the second Climate Change Risk Assessment due in 2017.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and Areva, a French company, jointly own Société franco–iranienne pour l’enrichissement de l’uranium par diffusion gazeuse (SOFIDIF). SOFIDIF in turn has an interest in a uranium enrichment facility in France. The collaboration between AEOI and Areva pre-dates the 1979 Revolution in Iran. We do not believe it has a bearing on P5+1 talks with Iran.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK supports Bangladesh’s efforts to bring to justice those accused of atrocities committed during the 1971 War of Independence. However we have also made clear that it is essential that the International Crimes Tribunal meet international fair trials standards, including during Bangladesh’s 2nd Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council on 29 April 2013. We have also made clear to the Government of Bangladesh our strong opposition to the use of the death penalty in all circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Our High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Robert Gibson, along with other EU Heads of Mission resident in Bangladesh, signed a joint public letter on 9 October reiterating our position on the death penalty, and calling on Bangladesh to abolish the practice. Our High Commissioner has also raised the most recent judgements with senior members of the Government of Bangladesh and the Awami League. We will continue to remind the Government of Bangladesh of our opposition to the use of the death penalty in any circumstances, at every suitable opportunity.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to monitor political stability in Bangladesh.</p><p> </p>
