	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 4 April (HL14845), whether the Ministry of Defence adheres to the advice given in the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Guide to maintaining roadworthiness: Commercial goods and passenger carrying vehicles, published in November 2018, providing that the advice does not conflict with operational requirements.
	tabling member printed	Earl Attlee
	uin	HL15373
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a dis-application from the statutory legislation that requires vehicles to undergo an Annual Roadworthiness Test and periodic Safety Inspections. Where Defence has dis-applications, the Secretary of State for Defence's Policy Statement for Health, Safety and Environmental Protection requires the MOD to maintain Departmental arrangements that produce outcomes that are, so far as reasonably practicable, at least as good as those required by UK legislation. As such, the MOD does conduct Annual Roadworthiness Test and periodic Safety Inspections to the standard contained in the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency guide to maintaining roadworthiness for commercial goods and passenger carrying vehicles.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 09/05/2019 16:18:43 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2022 answer text <p>The jack is diverse piece of equipment that covers a multitude of vehicles and variants. Due to the differences in size and weight of military vehicles, which range from under one ton to over 70 tons, it would not be viable to use a single piece of equipment for all vehicles in service. Consequently there are no current plans to introduce a universal jack.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Elmet and Rothwell answering member printed Alec Shelbrooke question first answered 13/09/2022 10:26:57 answering member 3997 label Biography information for Sir Alec Shelbrooke

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>The UK, in coordination with our international partners has introduced several packages of increasingly hard-hitting sanctions that prohibit the provision of a wide range of services and goods, including military equipment, to Russia by UK individuals and organisations. On 20 October, the UK introduced sanctions that target Iranian individuals and a business responsible for supplying Russia with drones in contravention of UNSCR 2231. The UK Government does not speculate on specific future sanctions, as to do so could reduce their impact. We will continue the pressure against Putin and his regime, until Ukraine prevails or Putin ends his war of choice.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 24/11/2022 10:00:45 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
