answer text <p>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.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Command appointments at one-star level and above for the Army, Navy, Royal Air Force and Strategic Command </strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>4 Star Command Appointments</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Service</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>First Sea Lord</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chief of the General Staff</p></td><td><p>Army</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chief of the Air Staff</p></td><td><p>RAF</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commander UK Strategic Command</p></td><td><p>Strat Com</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>3 Star Command Appointments</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Second Sea Lord</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fleet Commander</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commander Field Army</p></td><td><p>Army</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commander Home Command</p></td><td><p>Army</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Deputy Commander Operations/ Air Member Operations</p></td><td><p>RAF</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chief Joint Operations</p></td><td><p>Strat Com</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Director General Joint Force Development</p></td><td><p>Strat Com</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Director General Defence Medical Services</p></td><td><p>Strat Com</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2 Star Command Appointments</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commander Operations</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commander UK Strike Force / Rear Admiral Surface Ships</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Capability)</p></td><td><p>RN</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Flag Officer Sea Training &amp;

No estimate of the cost of replacing tyres that are 10 or more years old has been made. All vehicles are maintained and serviced regularly, at which time tyres are replaced if they do not meet minimum legal and safety standards.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) routinely scraps used tyres through a contractor, therefore none are exported overseas. However, when tyres are attached to heavy goods vehicles, it is possible that those over 10 years old could be exported, as all ex-MOD vehicles are sold as seen. There is currently no loss of income associated with such vehicle sales.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a dis-application from the statutory legislation that requires vehicles to undergo an Annual Roadworthiness Test and periodic Safety Inspections. Where Defence has dis-applications, the Secretary of State for Defence's Policy Statement for Health, Safety and Environmental Protection requires the MOD to maintain Departmental arrangements that produce outcomes that are, so far as reasonably practicable, at least as good as those required by UK legislation. As such, the MOD does conduct Annual Roadworthiness Test and periodic Safety Inspections to the standard contained in the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency guide to maintaining roadworthiness for commercial goods and passenger carrying vehicles.</p> more like this
