answer text <p>The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a deplorable act of terrorism in which a British national was amongst the 166 innocent people killed. Many hundreds of others were seriously wounded. Given the gravity of those horrific events, the UK Government is deeply concerned by the release on bail of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, one of the alleged planners, in April. Pakistan has committed to bring to justice the perpetrators and sponsors, and we continue to urge Pakistan at the highest levels to follow through on that commitment.</p><p>The UK Government recognises that Pakistan is on the frontline of terrorism, and continues to make considerable sacrifices on a daily basis. We remain fully committed to working in partnership with Pakistan to tackle the scourge of violent extremism which threatens both our interests. It is essential for stability in the South Asia region and for the safety of UK nationals that Pakistan delivers on its commitment to tackle all terrorist groups.</p> more like this

answer text <br /><p>The University of Wolverhampton undertook research as part of Teresa Graham’s June 2014 review into pre-pack administrations. This found that returns to creditors from a pre-pack were slightly lower than from non pre-packed administrations.</p><br /><p>The report also found that in about 60% of pre-pack deals all jobs were saved, and in a further 10% some jobs were saved. No data is available on the impact of the insolvency on employment at creditors of the company.</p><br /><p>A voluntary package of reforms to pre-packs, as recommended by the Graham review, was launched on 2 November with support from the insolvency industry and creditor groups. The reforms are intended to bring greater transparency and improved creditor confidence in pre-packs, and especially those in which sales are to connected parties.</p><p><strong></strong></p> more like this

The Government and EDF have finalised the Contract for Difference and ancillary documentation which offers increased price certainty for the electricity produced from Hinkley Point C. The Funded Decommissioning Programme has been approved and will make sure that the tax payer doesn’t pick up the cost of decommissioning the plant in the future. My rt. hon.

answer text <p>The Department for Energy and Climate Change has been centrally involved with the deal for Hinkley Point C throughout. Officials from the Department were in regular contact with both EdF and the Chinese investors in the run-up to the announcement on 21 October that they had reached a Strategic Investment Agreement. However, these negotiations are a commercial matter for the parties involved. We are confident that mechanisms are in place to ensure Chinese investment does not pose a threat to national security. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 2<sup>nd</sup> November 2015 to Question 13409:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-10-26/13409/" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-10-26/13409/</a></p><br /><p>The Government welcomes investment and participation from Chinese companies in the Hinkley Point C project and progressive involvement more generally in the UK’s new build nuclear energy programme, provided they meet the stringent requirements of the UK’s regulators. My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State will take her final decision on the Contract for Difference when EDF and CGN have signed the full investment documentation.</p>
