answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>Article 6 of the Washington Treaty defines the geographical scope of Article 5 primarily as 'the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America' or 'islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic Area north of the Tropic of Cancer.' However, any attack against the United States, whether directed against Hawaii, Guam, or another US state or territory, is likely to be part of a major conflict. In such a case, either the consultation provisions of Article 4 or the collective defence provisions of Article 5 would plainly apply, and the decision of the North Atlantic Council would determine the response of the Alliance.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 16/10/2017 14:51:19 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>The MOT test is an effective tool for checking annually that vehicles meet minimum roadworthiness standards, including those applying to the condition of tyres. Of the around 27 million registered cars eligible for MOT, 7,789,251 class 3 and 4 vehicles (cars, vans and passenger vehicles with up to 12 seats) failed the MOT during the business year 2015/2016. A total of 599,772 (7.7%) of those test failures related to defective tyres. Identification of tyre-related defects at MOT prevented the cars to which they were fitted from being used on public roads with unroadworthy tyres.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 23/03/2017 10:16:44 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
