No banks were required to submit revised capital plans following the stress tests. These results indicate that the UK banking system would have the capacity to continue to lend to the real economy, even under such a severe adverse scenario.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 29/04/2016 09:17:39 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

It is leading an ambitious programme of work, including looking at town centre restructuring and the digital high street, to support town centres to meet the changing needs of today’s consumer. The broader retail sector can thrive if it adapts to these changing needs.</p><p>We have also run the Great British High Street Awards since 2014, which has championed the hard work of local businesses and communities around the country. With nearly 200,000 votes cast in the public voting element in the 2015 Awards, the competition proves how much local people cherish our high streets and town centres. I hope Romford will consider entering in the 2016 Awards when it opens later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 04/05/2016 11:04:07 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

In respect of Saudi Arabia, the British Government’s position on human rights is a matter of public record. We regularly make our views well known including through the UN Universal Periodic Review process and we supported the EU’s Item 4 statement on Saudi Arabia on 15 March at the UN Human Rights Council, which noted a range of human rights concerns. We will continue to raise our human rights concerns with the Saudi Arabian authorities at the highest level.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 04/05/2016 14:24:55 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
