uin	199537
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2023 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Transport for London (TfL) operate a selected partner scheme whereby notified MOD owned or leased vehicles are exempt from the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Greater London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges; exemptions prevent the disruption of operational activity. For Units located in Greater London and the periphery, the relationship and contact between parties is strong and TfL operate a pragmatic approach to exemption applications ahead of any movement of military vehicles.</p><p>The Department takes seriously its sustainability commitment and wherever possible strives to support initiatives such as TfL's air quality improvement plans by considering the necessity of the movement and ensuring that, where MOD vehicles are supplemented by leased vehicles, they are fully compliant with wider Government intent.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 22/09/2023 13:19:05 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2023 answer text <p>Following market engagement activity in Bahrain, UK Strategic Command leased, not purchased, three low speed electric vehicles. These vehicles are required to transport personnel around the naval facilities in Bahrain due to the environmental conditions and are used solely for that purpose. The vehicles are more suitable than alternatives, owing to the low- speed road network of the UK Naval Support Facility in Bahrain and the adjacent US Naval Support Facility.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 09/01/2023 11:57:30 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>The UK, in coordination with our international partners has introduced several packages of increasingly hard-hitting sanctions that prohibit the provision of a wide range of services and goods, including military equipment, to Russia by UK individuals and organisations. On 20 October, the UK introduced sanctions that target Iranian individuals and a business responsible for supplying Russia with drones in contravention of UNSCR 2231. The UK Government does not speculate on specific future sanctions, as to do so could reduce their impact. We will continue the pressure against Putin and his regime, until Ukraine prevails or Putin ends his war of choice.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 24/11/2022 10:00:45 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what mounting jacks are used on British military vehicles; and whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of moving towards one universal jack for all vehicles.
tabling member constituency	Bournemouth East
tabling member printed	Mr Tobias Ellwood
uin	45291
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. Due to the differences in size and weight of military vehicles, which range from under one ton to over 70 tons, it would not be viable to use a single piece of equipment for all vehicles in service. 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
