answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a deplorable act of terrorism in which a British national was amongst the 166 innocent people killed. Many hundreds of others were seriously wounded. Given the gravity of those horrific events, the UK Government is deeply concerned by the release on bail of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, one of the alleged planners, in April. Pakistan has committed to bring to justice the perpetrators and sponsors, and we continue to urge Pakistan at the highest levels to follow through on that commitment.</p><p>The UK Government recognises that Pakistan is on the frontline of terrorism, and continues to make considerable sacrifices on a daily basis. We remain fully committed to working in partnership with Pakistan to tackle the scourge of violent extremism which threatens both our interests. It is essential for stability in the South Asia region and for the safety of UK nationals that Pakistan delivers on its commitment to tackle all terrorist groups.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/11/2015 11:33:51 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2015 answer text <p>We are aware that the custom and practice for some 4 axle rigid volumetric concrete mixers in recent years has been to operate in excess of the 32 tonne weight limit specified in regulations. A consultation earlier this year about the scope of exemptions from annual roadworthiness testing for some types of Heavy Goods Vehicles sought views about whether a higher weight limit could be set for such vehicles to avoid dislocation in the market. We have the responses to the consultation now and are considering this issue.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 10/07/2015 10:22:30 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
