The UK's longstanding position on Taiwan has not changed. The UK has a clear interest in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. We consider the Taiwan issue one to be settled peacefully by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait through constructive dialogue, without the threat or use of force or coercion. The Government is continually working to strengthen the UK's contingency planning across a range of international challenges, including threats to global supply chains. The Integrated Review Refresh outlines clearly and in detail our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific; and sets out how we protect UK interests including our economy and supply chains.

Although an initial decision had been made by the previous Government on the basing for the joint strike fighter, it is being reviewed in the light of the strategic defence and security review, as part of the work on the footprint strategy for the defence estate. The military requirement for the joint strike fighter has gone forward to the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, which is leading the work to deliver a defence estate of a sustainable size and shape, and one that delivers the most cost-effective approach to Future Force 2020 basing.
Three weeks ago, the Secretary of State for Defence is reported to have said that RAF Marham would be the logical base for the joint strike fighter. Can the Minister tell me when a decision on basing will be made to help to secure the base’s long-term future, as well as boost confidence for local businesses in west Norfolk?

This Thursday, the Defence Secretary will take delivery of the first of our joint strike fighter aircraft. A decision will be made on where it will be based in good time for the introduction of the strike fighter into service. Detailed work is taking place at the moment to look at the basing requirements, and we will make a decision as soon as is practically possible.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment his Department has made of the cost to the Exchequer of (a) fraud and (b) error relating to the childcare element of the working tax credit in the most recent year for which figures are available; what steps his Department is...
The amount of error and fraud relating to the childcare element of working tax credits is found in table 9 of HMRC's publication “Child and Working Tax Credits Error and Fraud Statistics” available here:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/personal-tax-credits/cwtcredits-error1011.pdf
In 2010-11, the estimated amount of error and fraud favouring the claimant in misreporting childcare costs was £265 million.
Of this, approximately £5 million was fraud, and £260 million error. The personal tax credits error and fraud strategy was introduced in April 2009, based on the principle of “Check first, Then Pay”. In 2011-12 156,000 cases were reviewed as part of HMRC's prevent, maintain and cleanse activity.
Estimates published on 20 June 2012 indicate that HMRC has reduced the personal tax credits childcare risk from £390 million in 2008-09 to £265 million in 2010-11.
