answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2021 answer text <p>Through life support costs include various elements of in-service support and related infrastructrure costs and therefore may not be directly comparable. However, the through life support costs for (i) C-130J and (ii) A400M are £3.5 billion and £6.8 billion respectively. These figures are based on out of service dates of 2035 and 2050 respectively. There are currently 14 aircraft in the C-130J fleet, compared to 20 A400Ms, rising to 22 by 2023.</p><p> </p><p>I am withholding details of cost per flying hour as its release would prejudice commercial interests.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 28/01/2021 16:41:42 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK is supporting election monitoring in the run up to the general election in Bangladesh through a Department for International Development project that funds domestic observers to monitor the political environment around the election, including observation of Sub-national elections. The project will also provide local observers to monitor conduct on election day. We have not yet received a request from the Government of Bangladesh to deploy UK election monitors during the general election. Should such an invitation be received, we would consider whether it is appropriate and safe to deploy UK officials. We will continue to engage with the Government of Bangladesh, the Election Commission, and political parties on the need for robust democratic mechanisms and the proper application of election law during the general election.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 18/05/2018 09:35:38 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
