question text	Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Algeria about the six Ahmadis sentenced on 28 June to up to four years in prison for charges relating to the exercise of their religion; and when they last discussed with the government of Algeria its obligations under Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which requires states to guarantee freedom of religion and belief.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>On the issue of the 28 June sentencing, we have raised this with the Algerian Embassy in London. We noted that the constitution protects freedom of conscience and religion but that domestic law might limit these rights. During Algeria's last Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in May, we raised the question of whether domestic law was to be changed to allow full freedom of religion as per the constitution. Algeria will consider the recommendations of the UPR and reply by September.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 17/07/2017 16:51:10 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the total cost of Trident renewal over the lifespan of the Successor-class submarines, including in-service costs and decommissioning.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL328
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>As stated in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, our latest cost estimate for manufacturing the four submarines of the Successor submarine programme is £31 billion, plus a contingency of £10 billion. This includes an assessment of the likely inflation over the lifetime of the programme and the risks appropriate for a project at this stage.</p><p>Once the new fleet of ballistic missile submarines comes into service, we expect that the in-service costs of the UK's nuclear deterrent, which include the costs of the Atomic Weapons Establishment, basing and disposals, will be similar to the current system, at around six per cent of the defence budget.</p><p>While we have no plans to replace the current Trident D5 missile, we are participating with our US partners in a programme to extend their lifespan to the 2060s. The estimated cost is around £250 million.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 06/06/2016 15:48:28 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
