	uin	228546
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) operates a strategic roll-on roll-off (RORO) freight service between the Falkland Islands and the UK, which includes the transport of scrap metal from Mare harbour three or four times a year. The RORO service is also used by the Falkland Islands Government, who have a separate commercial arrangement with the MOD's freight operator. There are currently no restrictions on this RORO transport. Since 2017 there have been 11 sailings containing scrap metal.</p><p>All freight shipped from the Falkland Islands, including scrap metal, is imported observing legislated customs formalities. Duties are occasionally applied to the import of scrap metal, for example where the MOD has insufficient evidence to support duty relief for reimported goods. When this occurs, the MOD pays the relevant duties and taxes. Where the scrap metal is not imported by the MOD, the payment of any duties and taxes is the responsibility of the Falkland Islands Government or the consignor.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 11/03/2019 16:55:17 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
