answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010 did not decide to disband Number II(AC) Tornado squadron. It took the decision to move, as part of our plans for Future Force 2020, to a fast jet fleet of Typhoon and Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, and to retain a reduced Tornado fleet in the transitional period. Decisions on the timetable for reducing the Tornado fleet were made subsequently and are adjusted as necessary based on advice. Most recently I decided to retain a third Tornado squadron, including Number II(AC) squadron, for an additional year until March 2016.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 17/11/2014 16:56:05 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>As part of the phased reduction of the RAF’s Tornado GR4 fleet, aircraft allocated to disbanded squadrons are assessed against a range of criteria including flying hour life consumed, embodied capabilities and future maintenance requirements. Depending on the result of this assessment, aircraft are reallocated to Front Line squadrons, returned to BAE Systems for maintenance or upgrade, placed in storage for future use or selected for spares recovery. Components and equipment for which no further beneficial use can be identified are disposed of through normal channels.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 28/10/2014 16:43:54 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>Guidelines for classification within European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Regulations and Business Procedure (BP) 1201 focus on equipment risks based on aircraft Flying Hours and not Risk to Life. As recommended by Haddon-Cave, the risk assessment categories in Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Publications (MRP) are for assessment of the Risk to Life resulting from both equipment and operating risks. This allows Duty Holders to assess Risk to Life per annum and tolerability in line with the approach espoused in the Health and Safety Executive publication Reducing Risks Protecting People.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 15/07/2014 16:58:52 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 10492 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Article 1210 defines categories for quantifying the likelihood of a risk as follows:<br><br>“Likelihood is assessed with respect to the likelihood of the assessed consequence of a hazard. This is based on the likelihood of a single accident resulting in harm for a particular fleet. The appropriate category listed below must be used:<br>a. Frequent: Likely to occur at least several times a year. <br>b. Occasional: Likely to occur one or more times per year. <br>c. Remote: Likely to occur one or more times in 10 years. <br>d. Improbable: Unlikely to occur in 10 years.” <br><br>A panel of suitably qualified and experienced persons from the Tornado Force calculated the risk likelihood for the Tornado risk register based on this definition.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 16/07/2014 15:35:20 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 8601 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
