question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to relax the requirement for eyesight and medical testing of those applying to renew heavy goods vehicle and public service vehicle licences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
tabling member printed	Earl Attlee
uin	HL3236
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2020 answer text <p>To keep bus and lorry drivers on the road, the Government has made temporary provisions to remove the requirement to submit a medical report, which includes questions about eyesight, when applying to renew a bus or lorry driving licence, until further notice. Provided they have no notifiable medical conditions, drivers will be issued a licence that is valid for one year instead of the usual five. This only applies if the licence expired after 1 January 2020 or is due to expire.</p><p>As is always the case, drivers must ensure they are medically fit to drive and they are legally obliged to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency of the onset or worsening of any medical condition.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 30/04/2020 11:26:06 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what financial penalties train operating companies are subject to if a train is cancelled due to (1) a train defect, or (2) a lack of train crew, broken down by each franchise awarded since June 2010.
tabling member printed	Earl Attlee
uin	HL1841
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The Department holds all its franchised operators to account for their performance through a Franchise Agreement. Each operator’s performance is measured against a set of benchmarks, which includes cancellations; however, these are not disaggregated down to individual types of cancellations, such as train defects. Specific cancellation causes are not connected to set penalties; any expenditure we require operators to incur to improve performance for passengers is linked to their overall performance.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 10/03/2020 16:12:32 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 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;
