answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2022 answer text <p>The jack is diverse piece of equipment that covers a multitude of vehicles and variants.

Consequently there are no current plans to introduce a universal jack.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Elmet and Rothwell answering member printed Alec Shelbrooke question first answered 13/09/2022 10:26:57 answering member 3997 label Biography information for Sir Alec Shelbrooke
