Explanatory Memorandum to the Competition Act 1998
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE COMPETITION ACT 1998 (PUBLIC POLICY EXCLUSION) ORDER 2007 2007 No. 1896 1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department of Trade and Industry and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. 2. Description 2.1 The Order excludes agreements between two or more members of Team CW or between a member of Team CW and any other person together with conduct by a member of Team CW from the prohibitions contained in Chapters I and II of the Competition Act 1998 provided certain conditions, as to the purpose and effect of the agreement or conduct, are satisfied. 3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments None. 4. Legislative Background 4.1 Paragraphs 7(1) and (2) of Schedule 3 to the Act provide that the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, by order, exclude agreements of a particular description either generally or in specified circumstances from the Chapter I prohibition. Paragraph 7(4) enables the Secretary of State, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, to disapply the Chapter II prohibition from conduct in particular circumstances. 4.2 The Chapter I and II prohibitions are modelled on and can apply in parallel to the prohibitions in Article 81(1) and Article 82 of the EC treaty in cases where there is an effect on trade between Member States. No inconsistency between EC and domestic competition law will result from this order because the competition provisions of the EC Treaty are disapplied by virtue of Article 296(1)(b) which provides that the provisions of the Treaty shall not preclude the application of the rule that “any Member State may take such measures as it considers necessary for the protection of the essential interests of its security which are connected with the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material”. -

United Kingdom Defence Statistics 2010
UNITED KINGDOM DEFENCE STATISTICS 2010 th Published: 29 September 2010 DASA (WDS) Tel: 020-7807-8792 Ministry of Defence Fax: 020-7218-0969 Floor 3 Zone K Mil: 9621 78792 Main Building, Whitehall E-mail: [email protected] London SW1A 2HB Web site: http://www.dasa.mod.uk INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2010 edition of UK Defence Statistics, the annual statistical compendium published by the Ministry of Defence. Changes to UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) this year include a new section on Defence Inflation and an expanded International Defence section in Chapter 1, the restructuring of the Armed Forces Personnel section in Chapter 2, and a new section on Amputations in Chapter 3. UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) is a National Statistics publication, produced according to the standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice. However some of the tables in UKDS do not have National Statistics status – some are produced by areas outside of the scope of the Government Statistical Service; some do not yet meet all the quality standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice; and others have not gone through the required assessment process to be classed as National Statistics. All such tables are clearly marked with explanatory notes. This year UKDS is once again being issued as a web document only, due to financial constraints within the Ministry of Defence. Each table and chapter is available in pdf format which is suitable for printing. There is also a pdf version of the entire publication, and of the UKDS factsheet. We have ceased publication of the UKDS pocket cards this year, since they are of limited value in electronic format. -

May 2019 Wing lift BNAPS News May 2020 BNAPS News Vol 10 Iss 3 – May 2020 BNAPS Workshop Shutdown and Reflections on Islander G-AVCN in 1967 At present there is no real indication of when we can re-start the work of completing the final assembly of G-AVCN. This period of inactivity is somewhat in contrast to what was happening at Bembridge Airport just over 53 years ago. Islander c/n 3 G-AVCN had made its first flight on 24 April and was soon being prepared to attend the Paris Air Show in June 1967. Parts for the first 30 production Islanders to be built solely by Britten-norman had been ordered. Islander G-AVCN at Le Bourget in June 1967 for the Paris Air Show (Interair Press/Denis Calvert). Such was the sales demand for the Islander that the arrangements for its production had to be completely revised. The new Britten-Norman assembly building was gearing up to a production rate of something like 10 Islanders/month as the wings and fuselages were delivered from the production lines established at the Falcon Works, East Cowes under a major sub-contract with the British Hovercraft Corporation. The “Islander Saga” feature article in this issue of BNAPS News gives an impression of the high level of B-N’s operations and activities at Bembridge and something of the challenges faced in getting the Islander into production and to market in the late 1960s.

Integrated Helicopter Survivability
Cranfield University Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Aeromechanical Systems Group Cranfield Defence and Security PhD DSTL/PUB36228 Cranfield University Cranfield Defence and Security Aeromechanical Systems Group PhD 2011 Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Supervisor: Prof. Kevin Knowles May 2011 © Crown copyright 2011. Published with the permission of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory on behalf of the Controller of HMSO. DISCLAIMER Any views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Dstl, MOD or any other UK government department. ABSTRACT A high level of survivability is important to protect military personnel and equipment and is central to UK defence policy. Integrated Survivability is the systems engineering methodology to achieve optimum survivability at an affordable cost, enabling a mission to be completed successfully in the face of a hostile environment. “Integrated Helicopter Survivability” is an emerging discipline that is applying this systems engineering approach within the helicopter domain. Philosophically the overall survivability objective is ‘zero attrition’, even though this is unobtainable in practice. The research question was: “How can helicopter survivability be assessed in an integrated way so that the best possible level of survivability can be achieved within the constraints and how will the associated methods support the acquisition process?” The research found that principles from safety management could be applied to the survivability problem, in particular reducing survivability risk to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). A survivability assessment process was developed to support this approach and was linked into the military helicopter life cycle. This process positioned the survivability assessment methods and associated input data derivation activities. -

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME RAeS Weapon Systems & Technology CAN THE UK JOIN THE HYPERSONIC WEAPONS RACE? Lead Sponsor: Drinks Reception Sponsor: Refreshment Breaks Sponsor: 21 NOVEMBER 2019 / LONDON 08:30 Registration & Refreshments 09:00 WELCOME & OPENING REMARKS Speaker: Tim Marshall FRAeS, Chairman, RAeS Weapon Systems & Technology Specialist Group 09:15 KEYNOTE ADDRESS Speaker: Sir Simon Bollom KBE CB FREng FRAeS, Chief Executive, Defence Equipment & Support SESSION ONE Session Chair: Tim Marshall FRAeS, Chairman, RAeS Weapon Systems & Technology Specialist Group 09:45 1) THE EMERGING HYPERSONIC WEAPONS THREAT AND ITS OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS Synopsis: This paper will examine the emerging hypersonic weapons threat and its operational and strategic implications. Dr Bosbotinis will firstly discuss the characteristics of hypersonic and high-speed weapons. Proceeding from this, he will examine the rationale for and development of hypersonic weapon systems in Russia and China. With regard to Russia, this presentation will consider the development of hypersonic weapons within the context of Moscow’s efforts to acquire a precision strike capability, including a conventional strategic deterrent, and to counter US missile defence systems. Regarding China, the presentation will examine Chinese efforts to acquire hypersonic systems within the context of the wider development of a broad-based precision strike capability. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the operational and strategic implications of hypersonic weapons.
