uin	228560
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not intend to make any changes to vehicle licensing rules as a direct result of the Juliana judgment. In relation to this judgment, the Department conducted a review of the rules around the UK’s Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) regime. A SORN registration is an official step that withdraws a vehicle from being used for travel on roads and the Department’s position is that the exemption from the compulsory motor insurance requirement in these circumstances is compliant with the Juliana judgement. Consequently, the position of the Department is that no further steps are needed to satisfy the requirements of the Juliana judgment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/03/2019 14:59:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

However, if there was an overriding need to purchase goods from an insolvent company (for example, it was vital to the operational capability of the armed forces) then a detailed process would be followed, involving legal and financial experts, to evaluate the benefits against the risks before deciding whether to place a contract.</p><p>The number of contracts awarded to insolvent companies is not held centrally and this data can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 11/03/2019 16:53:08 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
