answer text <p>​The elections on 15 October represented an important milestone in Mozambique’s journey to consolidate peace and democracy, following signature of a new peace agreement earlier this year. We commend Mozambique for delivering largely orderly elections against a challenging backdrop of two cyclones earlier this year. We are concerned however by irregularities and episodes of violence and intimidation during the campaign period, as flagged in the preliminary findings of international observer missions (including Commonwealth, EU and the US). Free and fair elections are fundamental to a peaceful and stable Mozambique. We condemn all instances of electoral related violence, and urge all sides to settle disputes peacefully through the appropriate legal processes.</p> more like this

answer text <p>A comprehensive review of the effect on road wear of the heaviest goods vehicles permitted to run in normal operations was last done as part of the process before the regulations about maximum permissible Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) weights were last revised in 2000. The Road Vehicles (Authorised Weight) (Amendment) Regulations 2000 permitted the use of 44 tonne vehicles for general use. These vehicles have been permitted in Great Britain since 1 February 2001.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates of the road wear attributable to HGVs have been updated periodically, but not comprehensively, most recently in 2014 when road to rail and water mode shift grants were reviewed. A significant piece of research about the potential effects of longer and heavier lorries was published by the Department for Transport in 2008.</p><p> </p> more like this
