The UK recognises Turkey's legitimate security interests in Syria and Iraq. We engage regularly with Turkey, a NATO ally, on regional security issues and encourage restraint from any activity that leads to further regional instability. The UK is monitoring water supply issues in north east Syria; we have raised the humanitarian issue of water availability bilaterally with all parties in the region, including Turkey. We do not have plans for formal discussions on this issue at NATO, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) or the Council of Europe (CoE).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-28T11:54:11.603Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Turkey: Armed Forces"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to have discussions with NATO concerning a potential investigation into the military activities of Turkey, particularly regarding activities in (1) northern Syria, and (2) north-west Iraq; and what discussions they plan to have with the (a) Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and (b) the Council of Europe, about compliance with international norms for military action and any violation of existing agreements on water-flows in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2018", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hylton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hylton"} ], "uin" : "HL9366"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1244960", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1244960/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are informed by the Financial Reporting Council that information necessary to answer this question in full is not available. The following table provides the number of current employees of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), falling within each salary range above £150,000:<\/p>

The FRC\u2019s annual reports, which are laid before Parliament, provide information about the FRC\u2019s remuneration policies. This includes the value of the total bonus pot as a percentage of the salary bill (a maximum of 3% in 2016/2017 where the Total Core Staff and related people costs is stated as £20,613,000), individual salaries and bonuses for executive directors.<\/p> <\/p> The Office for National Statistics concluded in December 2014 that the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) was a public body within central government. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills (as it then was) examined whether there was scope for further review. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) concluded in 2017 that they should work with the FRC on the application of all relevant guidelines. This includes pay guidance issued by HM Treasury and the Cabinet Office that requires advanced approval from the Chief Secretary of the Treasury for remuneration packages at £150,000 and above.<\/p> <\/p> During the prolonged period in which the status of the FRC as a public body was the subject of or pending review, decisions on the application of the guidelines were taken by Departmental officials under the delegated authority of the responsible departmental Accounting Officer.<\/p>"}
