answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>There will be a formal opportunity to receive and hear the views of local residents in regard to the Marchwood proposal via the statutory planning process. Additionally in recognition of the ongoing concerns that local residents will understandably have, Ministry of Defence officials will continue to engage with local representatives and through the Local Planning Authority until the commercial arrangements are completed.<br><br>It is not yet known how interested parties will seek to develop the Marchwood site for commercial use over and above the continuing military use at this early stage in the process. Consequently, any consultation with the local community would, at this stage, be speculative. <br><br>I would expect the successful partner to consult with the local community regarding its plans for the site following the grant of the concession.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 07/07/2014 16:23:28 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Department for Transport is the lead for civil aeronautical and maritime search and rescue. The Ministry of Defence makes defence assets available for search and rescue, which in the past have included Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA). <br><br>We continually monitor the international situation and will adjust our capability plans in response as necessary. The capability gap resulting in the removal of MPA, which was years behind schedule and hundreds of millions of Pounds over budget, was recognised in the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010 but has been partially mitigated using other maritime assets. Prudent management of the defence budget means that we have the ability to consider enhancements to the defence programme should a requirement to do so emerge.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 07/07/2014 15:17:25 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

uin	203467
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The period from a decision to acquire to entry into service would depend on the platform selected, affordability in the Defence programme and commercial arrangements. It is therefore not possible to provide a specific timeline. <br><br>The UK has since 2011 run a Seedcorn programme whereby RAF personnel are embedded in the Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) capabilities of a number of close allies. This initiative will mitigate the long lead time usually taken to establish a suitably qualified and experienced cadre if there is a future requirement to regenerate a UK MPA capability.<br><br>The previous MPA capability, the Nimrod MR2, was retired by the previous Government. It's successor programme, the Nimrod MR4A, was hundreds of millions of Pounds over budget with significant technical challenges present to achieve air worthiness certification.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 07/07/2014 15:18:12 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
