	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2015 answer text We understand that there are members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on hunger strike in 13 prisons across the country. Whilst the United Kingdom cannot interfere in Colombia’s judicial process, we have in the past raised concerns regarding due process and prison conditions with the Government of Colombia – particularly in relation to imprisoned trade unionists. That said we do not currently intend to make specific representations to the Colombian government about the current hunger strike by members of the FARC. answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 19/11/2015 16:21:44 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

	uin	18691
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2015 answer text <p>A special purpose vehicle is a company formed for a specific purpose, which may be for the short or long-term and is not limited to projects. In this way all franchised passenger train service operators are special purpose vehicles which deliver government-supported passenger rail operations. Network Rail also use special purpose vehicles, for example Network Rail Infrastructure Finance (<a href="http://www.networkrail.co.uk/investor-relations/uk-government-guarantee/" target="_blank">www.networkrail.co.uk/investor-relations/uk-government-guarantee/</a>). There are a number of other examples across the industry, but we have no complete list of them.</p><br /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 11/12/2015 11:27:13 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
