    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Stevenson of Balmacara on 2016-02-10.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will provide an analysis of the main funding sources for those arrested in the UK for alleged terrorist activities as categorised in the 2015 European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report.

    Lord Bates

    We are unable to provide analysis for the arrests included in this report as the information is not centrally recorded in this way, and many of these investigations will be ongoing. However, the UK National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, released in October 2015, provides our assessment of the methods used to raise funds for terrorism in the UK, drawing on operational experience.

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Stevenson of Balmacara on 2016-02-11.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the Historic Housing Association report, The Economic and Social Contribution of Independently Owned Historic Houses and Gardens, what assessment they have made of the possible closure of 70 historic buildings over the next five years, and what, if any, steps they are taking to support those business during this period.

    Baroness Neville-Rolfe

    Member houses of the Historic Houses Association make an important contribution to the UK’s tourism industry. They attract over 24 million visits per year with a total visitor spend of £1bn; and support 41,000 jobs.

    Government has made no specific assessment of the possible closures of these historic houses. DCMS continues to work with the HHA and others, including the Heritage Lottery Fund, to support privately owned heritage.
