answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2014 answer text <p>The 2010 National Security Strategy and the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) set the top level political direction and guidance for UK Defence. Defence Strategic Direction (DSD) translates this top level direction into broad priorities for Defence but it does not set specific goals, or relate to specific missions, activities or threats, and it would not be appropriate or practical to update DSD in the face of each individual crisis or threat.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Electricity generation in the U.K. is privatised and the decisions on spare step-up transformers are for the individual generator businesses. Electricity transmission operations in the U.K. are private, regulated businesses. Decisions on spare transmission connected transformers are matters for the transmission businesses, to meet the licence conditions under which they operate; they form an important component in the provision of reliability of supply. The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not hold data on generator step-up transformer or transmission connected transformer quantities held as spares by industry.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
