Of course. One of the things MSK physiotherapists look at is spinal fractures, 70% of which happen in the thoracic spine, generally in older women who have had poor bone health.

Are the F-35 parts not constantly trackable by GPS, or in a just-in-time supply chain that you could then see, from where they have initially set off from to another country where they have been deployed?

Are you intending to keep the “race to a trillion” export goal in your White Paper?

26 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 450)

Thank you for being here today. The OBR says that growth in imports and exports will be “weak over the medium term”, which will reduce the productive potential of the UK economy. What contribution do you expect trade to make in delivering the fastest growth in the G7?

Can you give a timeframe from when someone has submitted an application to when it will be completed? If you cannot give a closing date of March, can you give a date from when the process will start and when it will close?

Mr Watts, the Horizon shortfall scheme does not provide legal support funding for claimants prior to the outcome of the full assessment. Why design the scheme in such a way?
