tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
uin	71279
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2021 answer text <p>Operation PITTING was not only a strategic success, but as the largest humanitarian operation conducted by the RAF since the Berlin Airlift it also validated many Defence Planning Assumptions, using the full range of Air Transport capabilities - C-17, Voyager, A400M and Hercules. Whilst the Air Mobility Force operated at surge for a period of weeks, it was able to meet all of the operational tasks asked of it. Increases in the number of available A400Ms over the next few years will see that capacity increase further.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 16/11/2021 09:31:51 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

uin	70232
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2021 answer text <p>Under the Online Safety Bill, companies will have duties with regard to user-generated content advertising, such as posts by influencers and posts by companies on their social media feeds. Companies will need to minimise the risk of illegal user-generated content appearing on their services, and take swift action to remove it once alerted to it.</p><p>The legislation will not cover adverts which are placed directly or indirectly through a contract between an advertiser and an advertising service. It is important to keep the scope of the Bill manageable, to ensure its success in regulating the most harmful forms of user-generated content. We are however awaiting the report from the Joint Committee scrutinising the Draft Bill and will carefully examine any recommendations in this area.</p><p>Harms associated with paid-for advertising will be addressed holistically via the Online Advertising Programme. In February 2019, we announced that we will consider how online advertising is regulated. In 2020 we launched a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-advertising-call-for-evidence/online-advertising-call-for-evidence" target="_blank">call for evidence</a> and we will be launching a public consultation on the Online Advertising Programme in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 15/11/2021 09:44:59 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2021 answer text <p>There are no immediate plans to accelerate the Power Improvement Programme (PIP) for the Type 45 Destroyers, although we continually review optimal delivery within the Complex Warship Support Plan.

HMS DAUNTLESS, the first of class to undergo the Type 45 Power Improvement Programme, is currently at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead where equipment is being set to work following installation.
