There are 29 command appointments at one-star level and above within the Royal Navy, 42 within the Army, 18 within the Royal Air Force and 26 within Strategic Command. The table below shows a breakdown by role although for security reasons two Strategic Command posts are not included. While broadly similar, the three services and Strategic Command use slightly different criteria for 'command appointments' because of their structural differences. Senior service officers also hold command appointments in roles outside of their service, for example in NATO. There are also non-command appointments at one-star level and above, both within and external to the single services.

Article 51 of the UN Charter recognises that all States have an inherent right of self-defence. It is for the United States to say how the criteria for self-defence are met. The Government of the United States has now set out its case for self-defence in a letter to the UN Security Council dated 8 January.

Her Majesty's Government is concerned about the security situation in Mali and the spread of insecurity across the region. We remain in close contact with our key partners, including the US and France, to share assessments and coordinate activity. No decisions on the status of US forces in West Africa have been formally communicated by the US Government to HMG. We assess that any possible withdrawal of US forces will have a minimal impact on our deployed forces, but we will keep this under close review.

answer text

The UK is at the forefront of international discussions on the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects in populated areas. Officials contributed extensively to the Vienna Conference on Protection of Civilians in Urban Warfare in October 2019, in which steps towards a political declaration were taken. The next round of negotiations will take place in Geneva in February 2020 and we will take an active role in those discussions in order to ensure humanitarian concerns are balanced against operational realities. In the UK's experience, support and assistance to victims of conflict is best provided through integrated social and economic development programmes in affected countries.

The amount spent by the Department on advertising for financial year 2018-19 was £40.7 million. The majority of expenditure is accounted for by advertising by the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force to aid recruitment into our Armed Forces.

The number of vehicles procured and the total procurement values are as follows:<table><tbody><tr><td>Fleet (all Variants)</td><td>Total Number Procured</td><td>Total Procurement Value (£million ex VAT)</td></tr><tr><td>Mastiff</td><td>451</td><td>329.1</td></tr><tr><td>Ridgback</td><td>177</td><td>132.9</td></tr><tr><td>Wolfhound</td><td>126</td><td>107.4</td></tr><tr><td>Husky</td><td>338</td><td>190.3</td></tr><tr><td>Coyote</td><td>76</td><td>27.2</td></tr><tr><td>Warthog</td><td>115</td><td>129.0</td></tr></tbody></table>It should be noted that these figures include the procurement of the base vehicle, the integration work required to bring the vehicles up to a UK theatre entry standard and varying levels of initial spares purchases. Some contracts included the purchase of additional items, such as weapons and communication equipment. A number of the vehicle procurements were conducted via the Foreign Military Sales process, with costs calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate paid at the time.
