§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the requirement of armoured battlegroup support vehicles will be for transportation by air; what aircraft he plans for transportation of the ABSV; and if he will make a statement. [122977]
§ Dr. MoonieThe full requirements for the Armoured Battle Group Support Vehicle (ABSV) have not been finalised. However, it is likely that the requirements will include comparable deployability to that of the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle. This equates to its being air-portable by both C-17 and A-400M.
564Wthe market value of such publicity on the website and (iii) state if this estimate was taken into account in negotiating the sponsorship deal. [122743]
§ Dr. MoonieMy Department's principal websites—those of the central MOD and the three Services—are not sponsored by commercial companies. Where a major Service event has had external sponsorship and a related web page exists on a Ministry of Defence or Service website, the sponsor company's logo has on occasion been featured on that web page as an acknowledgment. In a few cases logos have been hyperlinked to the company's own website. The market value of the logo placements is assessed as negligible in comparison with the value of the overall sponsorship for the separate events, and taking into consideration the estimated number of visitors to the relevant pages and current market rates for website advertising on pages of this type.
The following table summarises the logo placements for sponsored major Service events on the Department's major websites. Detailed information on the other departmental websites maintained by individual Defence Agencies and units and on other sites maintained by non-departmental public bodies is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
