answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>We are aware of recent military activity in the south-east region of Nigeria and also of allegations made, in certain media outlets, of a napalm attack on a community. We are currently seeking more information, but the reports of the use of napalm appear to originate from one source and remain unsubstantiated. In addition, pictures of alleged victims of the attack have proven to be from other incidents, which casts doubts on the validity of the allegations.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 07/07/2015 11:36:21 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Ministers do not make regular use of the Government Car Service and we do not record the times when it may be used by Ministers. FCO Services, a Trading Fund of the FCO, has a small pool of vehicles and security cleared drivers (the London Car Service) which are used mainly for transporting Queen’s Messengers, diplomatic bags and other classified material. As part of a long-standing arrangement the Permanent Under Secretary and other senior officials have been able to draw on this pool for official and operationally necessary travel, and since 2010 FCO Ministers have also used the service.</p><p>In the financial year 2013/14, 1,446 journeys were made by Ministers using the London Car Service. A further 151 London Car Service journeys were made for the separate transportation of red boxes.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 21/07/2014 11:49:17 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
