The UK will need a transition period to help businesses adjust after Brexit, the chancellor and the international trade secretary have said.

In a joint Sunday Telegraph article, Philip Hammond and Liam Fox stressed any deal would not be indefinite or a "back door" to staying in the EU.
Their comments are being seen as an attempt to show unity between rival sides in Theresa May's cabinet.
It comes as ministers start to set out their detailed aims for Brexit.
A series of papers are being published, including one this week covering what will happen to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic after the UK has left the EU.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Hammond and Mr Fox said the UK definitely will leave both the customs union and the single market when it exits the EU in March 2019.
They said a "time-limited" transition period would "further our national interest and give business greater certainty" - but warned it would not stop Brexit.
"We are both clear that during this period the UK will be outside the single market and outside the customs union and will be a 'third-country' not party to EU treaties," they said.
They said the UK's borders "must continue to operate smoothly", that goods bought on the internet "must still cross borders", and "businesses must still be able to supply their customers across the EU" in the weeks and months after Brexit.
The two leading politicians said the government wanted to ensure "there will not be a cliff-edge when we leave the EU".
BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said Mr Hammond - who is seen to favour a "softer" approach to Brexit - and Mr Fox, one of the most prominent pro-Brexit ministers, had "previously appeared at loggerheads" over the government's strategy on leaving the EU.
Mr Hammond has raised the prospect of a Brexit deal that saw little immediate change on issues such as immigration - something Brexiteers have rejected.
But our correspondent said their article was an attempt to "prove cabinet unity on Brexit".
Meanwhile, former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband has called for politicians on all sides to unite to fight back against the "worst consequences" of Brexit.
He described the outcome of last year's referendum as an "unparalleled act of economic self-harm".
Writing in the Observer, he said: "People say we must respect the referendum. We should. But democracy did not end on June 23, 2016.
"The referendum will be no excuse if the country is driven off a cliff."
Negotiations between Brexit Secretary David Davis and EU officials are set to resume at the end of this month.
Mr Davis said the publication of the papers outlining the government's aims for Brexit would mark "an important next step" towards delivering the referendum vote to leave the EU.


You may have heard lots of talk in the news about the UK and something called Brexit.

Prime Minister Theresa May has given an important speech on Tuesday morning about it.
There are a lot of new words being used, so Newsround's handy guide is here to explain what they mean.
You have probably heard this word A LOT. It's in the name of this article!
Brexit is actually a made-up word that was invented about four years ago.
It's two words simply put together - 'Britain' and 'exit'. Put them together and you have 'Brexit'.
It's now such a popular word that it was added to the dictionary at the end of 2016.
But why has Britain-exit, or Brexit, become a word in the first place? What is the UK exiting from? You can find out in the next section.
Last year, adults in the UK voted to exit from a group called the European Union (EU).
So, "Brexit" means "Britain exiting from the EU".
The EU is a group of 28 countries. They all work together to try to make things like buying and selling products to each other, and going to live and work in each other's countries, easier.
But many people think that the UK could have more control over how it runs itself if it is no longer a member of the group.
Most people who voted thought it would be better for decisions to be made in the UK rather than in the EU, so they voted to leave.
Now, the UK government will need to have lots of conversations with the EU to decide what their relationship will be like in future after leaving.
The UK has not yet officially announced to the EU that it wants to leave (although, that is the plan at some point soon).
This hasn't happened yet because nobody has ever left the EU before. Leaders say they are taking their time to make sure they get everything right and that everything's in place before they officially start the process of leaving.
Article 50 is the name given to part of an agreement between members of the EU, which explains how a country can leave the group.
Prime Minister Theresa May wants to "trigger" Article 50 to officially starting the process of leaving the EU.
Think of it a bit like a giant button called Article 50, and once Theresa May pushes it, the process to leave the EU has officially begun.
Before the UK can leave the EU, leaders need to decide what the relationship between the UK and the EU will be like in future.
Currently the UK belongs to something called the "single market".
The single market was designed to make it easier for countries in the EU to do business with each other.
The prime minister has said the UK will not be a part of the single market after Brexit, so Britain and the EU will need to come up with a new deal for the future.
Immigration is when people move to live or work in another country.
The UK government believes one of the reasons that so many adults voted to leave the EU is because they want more control over who can come to live and work in the UK.
At the moment, part of the deal of being in the "single market" is that people from anywhere in the EU have the right to come to live here if they want to.
Mrs May says that will end with Brexit, so that the UK will have more control over who is allowed to move to the UK.
She did say she would like people from the EU currently living and working in the UK to be able to stay here, and the same for those from the UK who live in the EU.


Despite the sunny weather there is a sense of gloom in Dublin - both about the European Commission ruling on Apple and about Brexit.

The Irish government has worries about how the UK vote will affect the common travel area that preceded both states joining the European Union, the estimated 1bn euros a week in trade between the UK and Ireland, but perhaps most importantly of all about Northern Ireland, the implications for the peace process and whether there will be a hard or soft border.
As of now, nobody knows the answers to the issues raised by those concerns but the government in Dublin says it is difficult to imagine a situation where there will be no border controls on the movement of goods.
But will it be like the past when there were frequent queues on the border?
Hugh McAnulty, whose Warrenpoint-based family coach business dates back to 1819, doesn't think so.
"I can't visualise it because with the computer system they have now they should be able to recognise who is legal and who is not legal, and what should be going across the border," he said.
Looking to the future Mr McAnulty doesn't see major border delays but, as for the past, he doesn't think the British and Northern Ireland authorities have used EU membership at all well for developing the road system.
"Whenever the South were in the EEC, look at the road system they built up, the best motorway system now in the country," he said.
"Our motorway system is till the M1 and parts of the M2. The worst part of it is coming from Belfast to Newry, where the speed limit changes maybe six or seven times. And you're still on dual carriageway.
"We didn't get out of the EEC what we should have got while we were still in it."
The Norwegians, outside the EU, and their Swedish neighbours, inside it, know all about these problems.
There are random customs checks and some video cameras on cross-border roads noting the registrations of ordinary vehicles and trucks.
But Solve Steinhovden, from the Norwegian Embassy in Dublin, says there are special rules for heavy goods vehicles.
"It is compulsory for the drivers of lorries to report to customs offices along the border, there are 10 of those but approximately 70 border crossings.  So, it's just a small selection of those.
"There they will have to declare the cargo they are carrying. And if customs officers find anything suspicious with the declaration, they have the right to inspection of the cargo."
The new technology that may help the authorities deal with future customs issues already exists.
Traffic along the M50 motorway used to have to stop at toll plazas but not anymore.
There are cameras in the gantry above monitoring the 135,000 plus vehicles using the road every day.
The images are sent back to a site to see if the user is a registered customer and if payment is not forthcoming then the matter is handed over to those seeking to enforce the system.
Cathal Masterson, head of tolling at Transport Infrastructure Ireland, believes the fewer delays the less the cost to business.
"We use the new technology to reduce the queues at the toll plazas. What we're doing is we're automatically processing those vehicles without those vehicles needing to stop at the old toll plaza.
"There's no reason why that same technology couldn't be used at border crossings and customs points again to allow vehicles to freely move across the border but also to enable the authorities to keep track of those vehicles and make sure they can process them in an efficient way."
Although we don't yet know what Brexit will actually mean and it is still largely speculative, at least some thought has been given as to how the customs issue might be dealt with in future.


Dutch voters choose a new government in March 2017 and if the polls are right, the right-wing Freedom Party (PVV) of populist leader Geert Wilders is surging ahead of his rivals and is set to win 35 seats.

A quick calculation suggests almost three million people would vote for Geert Wilders. Anti-Islam and anti-immigration, Mr Wilders was found guilty on Friday of inciting discrimination and of insulting a group of Moroccan immigrants, although no penalty was imposed.
So where are the PVV's voters?
The traditional method for tracking down PVV supporters down generates zero results, says political scientist Andre Krouwel.
"The PVV has no party organisation or local branches, no member or activist base, he is the only member of the party."
A party source recommends a cosy pub opposite parliament to find supporters. But when the owners discover I am a journalist, they become edgy and are reluctant to talk politics.
The Twitter hashtag #stempvv (vote PVV) throws up plenty of anonymous profile pictures - a car, a sunflower and an angry cartoon character.
Many PVV supporters say they would prefer not to talk to journalists - a combination of distrust and fear of being stigmatised or misrepresented.
"It's socially not acceptable to vote PVV, they're considered extremist-right wing," journalist Wierd Duk told the BBC.
"They would be excluded from their social circle, work, they'd lose friends, promotion opportunities.  If you out yourself as a PVV supporter you're seen as a threat to the dominant ideology of tolerance and consensus."
Mr Duk invited Wilders supporters to email him to explain their motivation.
"I expected 'hate Islam, love Wilders' kind of thing, that's how the PVV voter is framed, the angry white man, but it's much more complex now. It's entrepreneurs, teachers, Church leaders, people who feel the traditional parties on all sides of the spectrum simply aren't listening to their concerns.
"Whereas mainstream politicians think it's a matter of human decency not to talk about whole sections of the population as a threat to society, Geert Wilders doesn't have such reservations."
His election pledges include a ban on the Koran and a plan to deport repeat offenders who hold dual nationality. He was put on trial for inciting hatred when he asked a room full of supporters if they wanted "more or fewer" Moroccans in the Netherlands.
When the government recently proposed a partial ban on the Islamic full veil in some public areas (worn by some 300 women in the Netherlands) it was seen by many as a cynical effort to claw voters back from Geert Wilders.
Health Minister Edith Schippers said recently: "We stand for freedom and those who don't accept that do not belong here".
It took some effort to track down proud PVV supporters.
All of them speak of a loss of faith in the mainstream, of broken promises and politically correct tip-toeing around the real issues affecting their lives, primarily radical Islam, immigration and the influence of the EU.

"Wilders is the only politician I trust. The others don't take us seriously", explains graduate Bastiaan Sietsema. "They say Wilders is the problem but actually he's a product of this neglect.
"Muslims have a completely different view on society, gender, sexuality, different values. In some cities whites are a minority now. People don't feel at home. They feel unsafe."
Does Bastiaan know any Muslims? "No." He lives in a village. His clearly well-researched views mostly come from the internet - "opinion pieces".
Gert Jan Mulder describes himself as a farmer, economist and father of six.  "It's very simple, he's always right," he explains. "His core business is his stance regarding Islam. He's a visionary."
Eventually Geert Wilders' views will be vindicated, he believes, pointing to jihadists posing as refugees to enter Europe, the UK voting for Brexit and Donald Trump's victory in the US.
But not all his supporters are so in thrall.
"His approach is often too aggressive." says Peter van Dijken, who writes for an online magazine. "Even if he does win power, there's no way he'd be able to introduce all the major plans he has because of our coalition system in the Netherlands. But people like me are fed up. Other parties need to realise this."
Geert Wilders' support has morphed beyond the core, white working-class.
He homes in on, and highlights, popular concerns - the influence of non-Dutch people on Dutch society, loss of culture, loathing of mainstream parties' apparent inability or unwillingness to acknowledge these issues.
And he presents himself as the only solution, astutely showing he is prepared to venture into territory where others are afraid to tread.
His approach appears to be paying political dividends, although until now he has struggled to translate high poll ratings into seats in parliament.
It is one thing to express discontent, but perhaps another when you are inside a polling booth choosing who is best equipped to run the country.
But this time might be different. No longer does anyone underestimate the ability of populist leaders to harness the voters' desire to be heard.


Police are appealing for witnesses following two ram-raid thefts at businesses in Mid and East Lothian.

At about 23:40 on Monday the Co-op store in Main Street Ormiston was entered after a green Citroen Saxo was reversed into the shop window.
The occupants of the vehicle then stole a small number of cigarettes.
On Wednesday Eskbank Post Office was broken into at 23:00. A green Citroen Saxo was used to force entry to the building before cigarettes were stolen.
Det Sgt Dave Reilly said: "As part of this investigation, we are actively seeking to identify the driver and other occupants of the green Citroen Saxo and I would ask anyone with information that can help us identify these individuals to contact police immediately.
"If anyone believes they have seen the vehicle, which will most likely have front and rear damage, is also urged to come forward.
"In addition, anyone who saw anything suspicious around either premises during the time of these offences should get in touch."


The Scottish SPCA is seeking a new home for a Shetland pony and her foal in Aberdeenshire.

Three-year-old Missouri and six-week-old son Jefferson are being cared for at the charity's centre in Drumoak.
Centre manger Graeme Innes said: "Missouri had a rather round tummy when she arrived in our care and gave birth to the adorable Jefferson in April.
"We're surprised we haven't had any interest yet and we're hoping we can find this sweet pair a loving home."
Missouri's owner could no longer care for her.
Anyone who can offer Missouri and Jefferson a new home is asked to contact the Scottish SPCA's Aberdeenshire centre on 03000 999 999.


A bid to retain a retired RAF Sea King helicopter in Moray to be exhibited has been successful.

The charity Morayvia plans to establish a science and technology centre at a former primary school site near Forres.
Those plans have now been given a "massive boost" after successfully tendering for one of the search and rescue helicopters.
The Lossiemouth Sea Kings were mothballed and replaced with helicopters run by the private sector.
Stan Barber, chief executive of the Morayvia Science and Technology project, said:  "We are absolutely overjoyed to be able to announce that the MoD's Disposal Services Agency has agreed that Sea King Mk3 XZ592 should be sold to Morayvia.
"This is the result of the fantastic effort and support we have had from civic, community and political leaders from throughout Moray, as well as from people far beyond our region with a love and understanding of just what the Sea King means to people in this part of the world.
"Above all it has been the support of the general public that has inspired us to put in so much time and effort to secure this fantastic aircraft."
Morayvia chairman Mark Mair said: "The total cost of establishing the Sea King in Moray will be around Â£30,000 - a considerable sum and thanks to the generosity of people in recent months we have some of this funding in place.
"However, we are some way short so in the next few days we will be launching a crowd funding effort aimed at securing all the funding required to ensure we have in place a fitting tribute to the SAR service in Moray for future generations to appreciate and admire."


Passengers arriving at Edinburgh airport could pay to skip passport queues, under new plans to ease congestion.

It is understood the scheme would offer people flying into the airport the chance to jump the queue for about £5.
The FastTrack service would be the first of its kind in Scotland.
It comes after chief executive Gordon Dewar wrote to then Home Secretary Theresa May to raise concerns about cuts to the UK Border Force.
In an open letter to Mrs May in July, before she became Prime Minister, he said Edinburgh airport was preparing for its "busiest summer ever".
But he warned that queues at passport control could hit unprecedented levels following "very serious" staffing cuts.
The airport already offers passengers the opportunity to pay £4.49 to use a priority security lane for departures.
The new FastTrack passport control scheme for arriving passengers is a joint venture with the UK Border Force.
Similar services are already offered at Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
A spokesman for Edinburgh airport said it was likely to be trialled in the "near future".
"This new service will offer choice to people flying into Edinburgh Airport," he added.
"We look forward to being able to offer our overseas passengers and returning UK-based passengers an even smoother arrival into Scotland."
The Home Office confirmed that the Border Force was "working closely" on the project.
A spokeswoman said it would "allow business travellers and those on tight schedules to make the most of their stay with the shortest possible wait".
She added: "Working with airport operators, Border Force is committed to providing an excellent service to all passengers arriving in the UK."


The Scottish International Airshow has started with a series of displays off the Ayrshire coast.

A B-25 bomber, a P-51 Mustang fighter and The Blades aerobatic team were among the first displays to take place near Low Green in Ayr on Friday.
The Saturday programme includes displays from The Red Arrows and RAF Falcons Parachute Team.
An estimated crowd of 120,000 attended the main Saturday event in 2015, with similar numbers expected this year.
Event manager Doug Maclean said: "We're very enthusiastic about what we've planned for 2016 knowing we will continue to excite and wow the crowds with some of the most amazing aircraft, pilots and displays they will ever see.
"The acts we have coming along are truly world-class and the fact they all want to come and take part in our event shows that the airshow has continued to grow from strength-to-strength."
South Ayrshire Council is the main sponsor of the airshow, which returned in 2014 after an absence of 22 years.
The council's chief executive, Eileen Howat, said: "The Scottish International Airshow has grown in magnitude and 2016's line-up is undoubtedly set to be the best yet.
"Last year around 120,000 people enjoyed the air display and demand has led to the addition of another day of flying and entertainment on the Friday.
"Not only is this a great family event, but it gives the local economy a real boost, generating over Â£5m last year, which is something we all benefit from."
Although anyone can watch the displays for free, ticket packages can be purchased for access to the entertainment area at Low Green.
One of the packages offers limited access to Prestwick Airport for a chance to see the aircraft up close.


Harlequins have agreed a deal to sign Wasps prop Phil Swainston at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has made 82 appearances for Dai Young's side since joining the Premiership side in 2012.
"He is a proven and experienced tight-head who will give us strength in depth in a key position," Quins boss John Kingston said.
"He has displayed a real hunger to be a regular starter and I have no doubt he will provide strong competition."
Harlequins have not disclosed the length of Swainston's contract at the Twickenham Stoop.


Spanish authorities have searched a former IMF chief's home and office over suspected fraud and money laundering regarding his personal wealth.

Rodrigo Rato, 66, was seen being taken from his Madrid home on Thursday by officers from Spain's tax authorities.
He is already being investigated for fraud over his time as chief executive of the Spanish bank, Bankia, which had to be bailed out by the government.
Mr Rato served as a prominent member of Spain's Popular Party (PP).
He was Spain's finance minister in the conservative government of Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and later a leading figure under Mr Aznar's successor Mariano Rajoy.
He headed the IMF between 2004 and 2007.
Mr Rato became director of Bankia in 2010, but resigned two years later amid concerns over the bank's ability to stay afloat.
Prosecutors allege that company executives at Bankia misled regulators about the bank's finances. Mr Rato denies any wrongdoing.
Bankia bosses including Mr Rato were also accused of widespread misuse of company credit cards under his leadership.


American Tyler Alexander, one of the key figures in the founding of the McLaren team, has died aged 75.

Alexander was centrally involved at McLaren for more than 40 years after being recruited by driver Bruce McLaren to help set up the team in 1963.
He left in 1983, two years after McLaren was taken over by current boss Ron Dennis, but returned in 1989 and worked there until he retired in 2008.
"Tyler was one of the first pillars of our company," said Dennis.
"Bruce couldn't have asked for a sturdier pair of shoulders upon which to help build the team's reputation. Quite simply, Tyler lived and breathed McLaren."
In the early years of the team, Alexander worked alongside Bruce McLaren and fellow American Teddy Mayer in F1, first as chief mechanic and then chief engineer before becoming a director of the company.
The company continued under Mayer following McLaren's death in a testing crash in 1970.
In the late 1960s, Alexander moved to run the company's successful programmes in the US, first in the CanAm sportscar championship and then in Indycar racing, before returning to F1 in 1979.
Dennis took over McLaren in 1981, first running it alongside Mayer before taking total control, and two years later Alexander sold his shares to Dennis and left the company.
He returned to the US to join Mayer in running an Indycar team, which recruited as engineer a young Adrian Newey, now Red Bull's chief technical officer and the most decorated design engineer in F1 with world titles at Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.
Alexander and Mayer were the joint team principals of the short-lived US-based F1 team Beatrice in 1985 and 1986. After its collapse, Alexander returned to Indycar racing before Dennis re-signed him as McLaren's special projects engineer in 1989.
During his final 20 years with the company, McLaren won six drivers' and five constructors' world titles with Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton.
In a tribute to Alexander on the McLaren website, Dennis said: "Tyler was one of the finest of the old school: hardy, humble and wise, leaving a reputation and a legacy that will remain indelible in the history of international motorsport."


Scores of Welsh students in science, reading and maths were below the average of 72 countries and economies taking part in a major study of educational performance.

Welsh students also did worse than their counterparts in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Pisa tests are taken by 15-year-olds every three years.
This is the fourth time Wales has done worse than the other UK nations.
The latest results show:
First Minister Carwyn Jones admitted in a heated session of the assembly on Tuesday that the results make for "uncomfortable reading".
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said Wales could do better.
"We can all agree we are not yet where we want to be," she said.
"While we have seen a 10 point lift in our maths score, the results for science are disappointing.
"Last month I invited the OECD to look at how we are doing in Wales; their advice to me was unambiguous: Stay the course, be brave, you are doing the right things."
Ms Williams added that plans were in place, including a new curriculum.
"The easy thing to do would be rip up the plan and start again.  But we owe it to our pupils, parents and the profession to do what is right."
Reaction to the Pisa results in Wales
Each time the Pisa study is carried out, the OECD places a particular emphasis on one subject. This time it was science.
Singapore pupils topped the rankings in the science test with an average score of 556, closely followed by Japan with 538 and Estonia, a newcomer to the top ranking countries with 534.
Although 12% of England's students were classed as top performers in science, only 5% of Wales' students were placed in the same bracket.
Of the 3,451 Welsh pupils who took part, 22% were classed as low performing, which is roughly the OECD average but higher than in England, where 17% were in that category.
The report also notes that only 6% of the variation in how Welsh students are performing can be put down to their socio-economic background - in the rest of the UK, 11% of the variation can be explained by it.
Officials also say there is no difference in results between pupils in Welsh medium schools and those in English language schools - 24 of the 140 schools taking part in Wales were Welsh medium.
Wales' science performance is roughly the same as that of Spain's Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza), while its performance in reading is similar to that of pupils in Dubai or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
In maths, Welsh pupils' score is closest to that of their Lithuanian contemporaries.
What are Pisa tests?
What can Wales learn from Poland?
UK lags behind in latest Pisa results
Analysis: 'Little will be learned'
What the ministers said
Singapore - a winning combination?
These results have been eagerly awaited by politicians, pundits and parents keen to see if Wales' results had finally turned a corner.
The scores will come as a huge disappointment to all those involved in education in Wales and there will be searching questions asked about the way forward now.
Plans are in place for a new curriculum which should be taught by 2021 and plenty will argue that major reforms made by Leighton Andrews in 2011 when he was education minister still need time to have an impact on teaching and learning.
The literacy and numeracy frameworks, national tests and school banding were all part of a raft of reforms brought in following the 2010 Pisa results.
His successor Huw Lewis said everyone involved in education "needed to take a long hard look in the mirror" after the results of 2013. He pledged Wales would be in the top 20 best performing countries by the 2015 round of testing - a pledge which was later quietly dropped.
Today will be uncomfortable and difficult for Education Secretary Kirsty Williams. The Liberal Democrat was among the first to criticise the Labour Government's handling of education in Wales when the last round of results were published three years ago.
Now in the cabinet and in charge she will have to chart the way forward and face the critics in the assembly and further afield.
Teaching unions have in the past urged the Welsh Government not to turn to yet more initiatives, complaining that hard-pressed teachers were straining under the weight of ministerial directives designed to try to drive up standards.


If there is one area where technology has outpaced regulation in London - and in many other major cities - it has been the rapidly changing taxi and private hire market.

Successive mayors have tried to get the legislation to cap the increasing number of minicabs, driven in part by apps like Uber.
So far they have failed which has meant that Transport for London (TfL) has to issue Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) licences if the drivers meet the requirements.
Currently, there are 118,000 licensed private hire drivers who have been blamed for congestion, pollution and an increase in collisions.
If you look at the regulation around this market, you can see where it has been outpaced.
It is only now that more compliance officers are being recruited, and soon there will be 350 officers to police 139,000 vehicles. Previously there were 82 officers.
To pay for that, TfL is having to introduce large fees for minicab operators, some will be millions of pounds.
Helen Chapman, general manager of taxi and private hire at TfL, said: "The operator fees system is no longer fit for purpose.
"It is only fair that licence fees for private hire operators accurately reflect the costs of enforcement and regulating the trade.
"The changes to fees would also enable us to fund additional compliance officers to help crackdown on illegal and dangerous activity."
Even basic data gathering such as the number of collisions and occupants injured in taxis and private hire vehicles isn't split between the two trades.
Although that is now changing, the existing data gives an interesting picture. Between 2013 and 2015 the number of passengers injured in taxis and minicabs went up from 544 to 827 - an increase of 52%.
The corresponding figures for black cabs shows they have remained static at about 21,000 over that period but the number of PHVs went up 54% from 65,656 to 101,434.
There are now calls from the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly for drivers to be banned from using what they think is causing the problem: apps while driving.
Black cab organisations like the London Cab Drivers Club would also like to see them restricted and they also want much clearer guidance from the Met Police and TfL about when they can be used.
At the moment, TfL says it is up to the individual drivers to make sure they are driving safely.
An Uber spokesperson said: "It is against the law to hold a mobile phone or device in your hand while driving. Drivers must be in proper control of their vehicle and concentrating on the road at all times."
In the middle of a rapidly changing world, it is TfL whose old systems cannot cope with the changing landscape.


Microchipping of all dogs in Wales will be brought in a year earlier than in England, the Welsh government has announced.

The move is seen as a way to improve animal welfare and develop responsible dog ownership by helping identify strays.
It is estimated 190,000 dogs will need to be microchipped before the March 2015 deadline.
Nearly 60% of dogs in Wales have chips, which have coded owners' details.
In England, compulsory microchipping will not come into force until April 2016.
Some charities offer the procedure for free but it costs about £20-£30 at a private veterinary clinic.
It involves inserting a sterile chip the size of a grain of rice between a dog's shoulder blades.
The Welsh minister for Natural Resources Alun Davies said it was increasingly important to have a method of tracing dogs back to their owners.
"Dog owners already have a duty of care under the Animal Welfare Act but it can be difficult to ensure that this duty is being met without a reliable form of identification," he said.
"By microchipping all dogs in Wales we can formalise the relationship between an owner and pet and ensure an increased level of accountability."
Mr Davies said public consultation had shown there is "overwhelming support" for the plans.
According to the Dogs Trust - which has a re-homing centre in Bridgend - the total number of stray dogs in Wales increased from 9,482 in 2011 to 10,230 in 2012.
The charity plans to offer free microchipping to dog owners in Wales before the regulations come in.
The trust's chief executive officer, Clarissa Baldwin, said: "Microchipping involves a minimal one-off cost, but the benefits last a life-time.
"The reality is that no matter how responsible an owner you are there is a chance your dog could get lost or stolen - micro-chipping is the most effective way to assist in a lost dog being returned to its owner."
The British Veterinary Association's (BVA) Welsh branch secretary, Bob Stevenson, said: "This is fantastic news for dog welfare in Wales.
"Microchipping provides veterinary practices, charities, and dog wardens with the ability to reunite lost and stray dogs quickly and safely with their owners.
"It is important to remember that microchips are only as useful as the information held on the database and we must all work together with the Welsh government to ensure that dog owners understand the importance of keeping their information up to date."
Compulsory microchipping came into force in Northern Ireland last year.


Zimbabwe have been expelled from 2018 World Cup qualifying for failing to pay former coach Jose Claudinei Georgini.

Football's world governing body Fifa said in a statement it had taken the action "as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt".
Fifa added that Zimbabwe's Football Association (Zifa) failed to make the payments despite a grace period.
Zifa communications manager Xolisani Gwesela told BBC Sport that the body would appeal against the ruling.
"We have already started to engage authorities in Zurich," he said. "In any process you can appeal - just because a ruling has been declared, it doesn't mean the door has been closed."
Zimbabwe, who have never qualified for a World Cup, have to act quickly because the draw for the African zone qualifiers for the tournament in Russia will take place in July, with matches set to kick off in October.
Zifa is in dire financial trouble, with debts of more than US$4m (£2.7m) , and was recently forced to auction assets from its Fifa-financed training centre to settle a legal dispute with a former employee.
The financial problems date back a long way and when Georgini, nicknamed Valinhos, was appointed in 2008 it was announced that the Brazilian's salary would be paid by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority as part of a 2010 World Cup memorandum of understanding between the tourism body and Zifa.
It is understood that Valinhos is owed $67,000 (£45,000) in salary and allowances from his spell as coach between January and November 2008.
Zifa CEO Jonathan Mashingaidze told BBC Sport he "does not see why we have been kicked out of the World Cup, the debt is still there anyway".
He added: "We've been liaising with Fifa and asking for a payment plan. We assume full responsibility of the debt, but the queue is pretty long.
"There are also former national team coaches Tom Saintfiet and Sunday Chidzambwa, and we owe money to banks."


Colombia's prosecutor general, Alejandro Ordonez, says he will open a "disciplinary investigation" against the country's chief of police, Gen Rodolfo Palomino.

Mr Ordonez said Gen Palomino would be investigated over the alleged creation of a male prostitution ring.
The general is also under investigation for alleged illicit enrichment and conducting illegal wiretaps.
Gen Palomino welcomed the probe, which he said he knew would clear his name.
"I hope that the justice system can restore the dignity which has been taken from me through lies and infamy," the general said in a statement.
The investigation was triggered by allegations by a police captain who said he had been abused by higher-ranking officers during his time as a cadet.
Mr Ordonez said that allegation had been backed up by a complaint by a now retired police captain.
According to the complaint, young male police cadets were cajoled and threatened into having sex with higher-ranking officers.
Mr Ordonez said that according to the testimony gathered by his office, a senator had also allegedly been implicated in the prostitution ring, called "Community of the Ring".
He also said that the alleged incidents had taken place "with the help and complicity of police officials, including the director general [Rodolfo Palomino]".
The wiretapping accusations also relate to the case. Allegedly police officers tapped the phones of journalists investigating the scandal.
Gen Palomino has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
He has also denied allegations of illicit enrichment and has provided prosecutors with documents which he says show where his money and properties come from.
He says the allegations are a political vendetta designed to drive him out of office.


Recent attacks by the Taliban in Afghanistan are not a sign it is making advances as the last foreign troops prepare to withdraw, the former head of the British army has said.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's World At One programme, General Lord Dannatt said it was wrong to "talk up" the incidents.
Five Afghan soldiers died in an assault on the former UK base Camp Bastion and capital city Kabul has been attacked.
Lord Dannatt said the Afghan government must retain the support of the West.
The last UK combat troops left Afghanistan in October, with Camp Bastion in Helmand Province being handed over to local armed forces.
But there has been a surge in insurgent attacks over the past month, targeting Afghan forces, foreigners and civilians. It has raised concerns about whether Afghan security forces will be able to protect the country when the bulk of the other foreign troops depart this month.
Three South Africans were killed in a Taliban attack on a compound used by a US-based charity on Saturday in Kabul, the third such incident on foreigners in 10 days.
Ahead of a conference this week on Afghanistan's future in London, Lord Dannatt said: "It is important the new government shows it has competence and confidence to govern... it is absolutely critical to show international determination to go on financing and supporting the developing Afghanistan."
He said: "The security situation is an important element in this but don't let's fall into the trap of playing the Taliban's game and talking up the number of attacks...
"Of course there are going to be attacks... a low level, even a medium level degree of insecurity and a continuing insurgency is quite likely, but let's keep the wider picture in mind."
The Ministry of Defence said Afghan security forces are providing effective security and the recent incidents do not represent the situation across the country.
Lord Dannatt's predecessor, General Sir Mike Jackson, has reiterated his view that the UK withdrew from Afghanistan too soon.
Interviewed on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: "The war, conflict, call it what you will, wasn't over. I'm left feeling there was no victory despite what the politicians say."
But he said that while the recent attacks were "somewhat depressing... I don't see certainly at the moment, and I hope never, that the Taliban will be in a position where they can overthrow the elected government of Afghanistan".
He said "great effort" has been put into training and mentoring the Afghan security forces.
Sir Mike, who led the Army between 2003 and 2006 at the height of the UK's involvement in Afghanistan, added: "Afghanistan is not a military problem per se, the root of it is political. It seems to me there can only be, in the longer term, a political outcome."


New Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce began his reign with a point as the local derby against Wolves ended in a draw.

But Villa Park's fifth home league draw in six games this season could quite easily have ended badly for Bruce.
Villa took the lead through Jonathan Kodjia's 15th-minute penalty, only for Wolves to level with a spot-kick of their own from Helder Costa.
And Wolves had enough second-half chances to have won comfortably.
On a day when Bruce's side began the game in the Championship's bottom three thanks to the day's earlier results, they ended it in 20th - nine points behind his old club Birmingham City, who occupy the last of the four play-off places.
And the new Villa boss certainly now knows the full size of the job he has taken on.
In a game of penalty decisions, two given, and one not, Wolves had the more raw deal.
Villa's Jack Grealish had already given a warning of his close control before he got into the penalty area, where he went down under a challenge from Dominic Iorfa - his England Under-21 international team-mate in midweek.
Kodjia converted the penalty, but Wolves levelled just 19 minutes later, also from the spot - a far less controversial decision.
Having left Costa alone on the edge of the area, a desperately back-tracking Aly Cissokho tried to cover but the Wolves winger's goalbound left-foot curling shot struck his outstretched arm, and Costa himself converted the spotkick.
Wolves then had the best penalty shout of the lot early in the second half when Micah Richards bundled over Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, but nothing was given.
The visitors could feel aggrieved but they had only themselves to blame after that as Prince Oniangue and Bodvarsson both struck efforts wide, sub Nouha Dicko shot over from an angle and Ivan Cavaleiro's goalbound shot was brilliantly blocked by Alan Hutton.
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM:

"There's a lot of work to be done. The hardest part in management is always getting over a relegation. We've now won only four games in 55, which is an alarming statistic, but it's my job to find a formula to win.
"We did well with all the late blocks and saves we made, but we tired badly, which was alarming.
"It would have been nice to bring big Rudy Gestede on, or Jordan Ayew, and make an attacking substitution. But we had two struggling with calf injuries, Micah Richards and Tommy Elphick. They've now got no chance of making it on Tuesday night (at Reading)."
Wolves head coach Walter Zenga told BBC Sport:

"In any game, there are always moments that determine whether it is a win, loss or draw and the challenge on Bodvarsson was one of those moments. The perfect moment to put my team in front. Totally, no doubt. It was a penalty.
"The start of the the season was difficult, introducing so many new players, but now we know what we want and the team is benefiting.
"Wolves played with spirit, courage and attitude. It was important for us to play this way. But we need the same performance every week, not to be up and down. We have to find consistency."

Military landing craft have been suggested as a possible solution to a breakdown of Lochaber's Corran Ferry.

A report to Highland councillors following a problem that affected the ferry last month said asking the Royal Navy for help has been suggested.
However, council officers said because of the volume of cars that are carried more than one landing craft would be needed.
Also, the ferry's slipways are not suitable for the military craft.
Last month, the Corran Ferry, which Highland Council operates on Loch Linnhe in Lochaber, was out of action for several days following a breakdown.
The boat had drifted and hit rocks near a slipway.
The usual back-up ferry, the Maid of Glencoul, was unavailable because it was having a refit.
The Corran Ferry was able to return to service following repairs and an inspection.
The council officers' report on the incident said it cost the local authority Â£39,000 due to loss of income and the cost of the repairs and inspection, which involved a remotely operated vehicle.
The report to Tuesday's Lochaber Committee also praised the "meticulous" and "diligent" work of the ferry's staff in keeping incidence of breakdowns on the ferry at a low level.
Highland Council faced criticism at the time for having to suspend the service.
There were claims of a lack of information on the status of the service and contingency plans.
At the time, Highland Council said it had done "everything possible" to restore the service, and had put information on its website and on Twitter.
It also asked Traffic Scotland to warn people of the problems with the ferry with messages on its electronic signs on the A82 trunk road.
However, road works and warnings of heavy rain had to be given priority.
The Corran Ferry allows access to and from the communities of Ardgour, Morvern and Ardnamurchan via a narrow stretch of Loch Linnhe.
It is also used by people and businesses on Mull, who first travel to the mainland on the Fishnish-Lochaline ferry.
The Corran Ferry and Fishnish-Lochaline services also offer tourists an alternative to the Oban to Mull ferry.


Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark is warning his side they must match the never-say-die attitude of Falkirk if they are to retain their Premiership status.

The sides meet on Thursday and Sunday in the Premiership play-off final.
Falkirk scored in stoppage time to defeat Hibernian in Friday's semi-final and Clark knows Peter Houston's side will battle to the final whistle again.
"That is certainly what they will be doing and that is what I will be demanding from my team," he said.
Clark would not be surprised if the final against the side who finished runners-up in the Championship went all the way to a penalty shoot-out.
"I wouldn't put it past it with the team I saw last week," he told BBC Scotland. "No matter what the scoreline is, they never give in.
"It doesn't matter what has happened in the first-leg, it doesn't matter the situation in the second-leg, the game is going to have to go to that final kick of that final ball."
Despite Kilmarnock struggling for most of the season, and a 4-2 defeat by Dundee United in their final league game at the weekend, Clark insists the atmosphere around Rugby Park is far from doom and gloom.
"Really positive," he insisted. "We know that we are approaching two big games, two cup finals in every sense of the word.
"There is a freshness about the players who will be performing in those games because of my decision at the weekend."
Clark rested several of his squad for the match against relegated United.
"It is crystal clear what is required and the players are looking forward to the challenge," he said.
"Of course, it is not where the club set out to be at the start of the season.
"We have two cup finals, we have to get a positive result to stay in the division and then we can move forward as a club and I can have my first opportunity to put some sort of stamp on the group in terms of my recruitment process and then we push on and never have this situation again.
"The club for the last three or four years has been fighting this sort of thing and sooner or later you need to heed the warning or it does not improve. So that is what we are looking to do."


South Africa is a popular destination for migrants from across the world.

1 March 2016 Last updated at 00:03 GMT
Estimates of the number of foreigners living in the country vary, but according to the last official census the number was just over two million.
For some, life in South Africa can be tough - xenophobic attacks and a weakening rand are just two of the problems they face.
The BBC's Outside Source spent the day with foreign shopkeepers in the township of Diepsloot, close to Johannesburg, to find out what life is like and what their hopes are for the future.
Video journalist: Christian Parkinson
Outside Source is broadcasting its radio and TV programmes live from Wits University in the South African city of Johannesburg on Tuesday 1 March, discussing subjects from migration to student protests. Follow @BBCOS on Twitter to join the debate.


Sir Philip Green is offering £100m less than the Pension Regulator is seeking to plug a gap in the BHS pension scheme.

The BBC understands that the regulator wants £350m in redress from Sir Philip, who is offering £250m.
The regulator launched enforcement action against Sir Philip and other former owners of BHS after failing to agree a deal over pensions.
Sir Philip says he had presented "a credible and substantial proposal".
The regulator is looking for redress for BHS's 20,000 pension scheme members following an investigation into the matter.
It has sent warning notices to Sir Philip, his retail group, and Dominic Chappell, who was the owner when the department store chain collapsed.
The 300-page notices could see the billionaire being ordered to pay more towards the pension shortfall, which had swollen to nearly £600m by the time BHS went out of business.
"I have read the statement from the Pensions Regulator this evening and noted its contents," Sir Philip said.
His new proposal had evidence of "cash availability", could take the scheme out of the lifeboat Pension Protection Fund (PPF), and "achieve a better outcome for the BHS pensioners", he said.
"I have also spoken to the chairman of the [BHS pension] trustees who is supportive of the proposal on the basis that it provides members with better benefits than they would receive from the PPF," Sir Philip added.
MPs last month backed a call to strip Sir Philip of his knighthood for his role in the collapse of BHS, which closed just over a year after he sold it for £1 to Mr Chappell, a former racing car driver. The decision on his knighthood would have to be taken by the Honours Forfeiture Committee.
During months of talks Sir Philip has declined to publicly put a number on the level of financial support he would be willing to give the pension schemes.
Four and a half months after Sir Philip Green said he'd "sort" the BHS pension deficit, the regulator has seemingly lost patience.
It has warned Sir Philip and brief owner Dominic Chappell it thinks there is a strong case for them to be forced to help plug the £600m hole in the scheme.
Sir Philip hit back saying he had tabled a substantial proposal that would provide a better result for the 20,000 members than the reduced benefits offered by the pensions lifeboat scheme and one that had the backing of the chairman of the BHS pension trustees.
The regulator said the door remained open for an improved offer but failing that, an independent panel would decide whether the evidence against Sir Philip and others is strong enough to force them to pay up and determine how much.
That panel will meet sometime next year. Any decision can be appealed against and even if Sir Philip is eventually forced to pay, it is likely any money will go to soften the hit to the Pension Protection Fund rather than directly to the BHS pensioners.

Lesley Titcomb, chief executive of the Pensions Regulator, said: "Our decision to launch enforcement action is an important milestone in our work to attain redress for the thousands of members of BHS schemes who have been placed in this position through no fault of their own."
Frank Field, who co-chaired a parliamentary inquiry into the collapse of BHS, said: "We are not surprised that the Pensions Regulator has, like all the rest of us, lost patience with Sir Philip Green's excuses and empty promises."
Iain Wright, the other chairman of the inquiry, said that five months after Sir Philip told MPs he would "sort out the pensions mess" he has put "no credible plan or cash on the table".
"We have seen stalling for time, lack of real progress in the negotiations and that's why the regulator has to do what it has done - understandable, regrettable, but I can perfectly understand what's been going on," he told the BBC.
Mr Wright also pointed out that while BHS stores have been closing, staff have been losing their jobs and worrying about their pensions "he takes ownership of his third yacht and spends his summer in the Med. That level of inequality really rankles with people".
The Pensions Regulator opened an investigation into the BHS pension situation in March 2015.
It said it has now launched enforcement action after reviewing almost 100,000 documents and holding talks with various BHS stakeholders.
Sir Philip and the other recipients of the notices will have an opportunity to reply.
It could then be sent to an independent determinations panel, which can impose a financial order that the regulator and former owners must then agree.
Independent pensions expert John Ralfe said it was likely to be a very long process that could end up being dragged through the highest courts.
A separate case has been stuck at stage one - the enforcement notice - for three years, he told the BBC.


Many local councils will see their first increase in Welsh Government funding since 2013-14 under plans set out by Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford.

A total of £4.1bn will be divided between Wales' 22 local councils, a cash increase of £3.8m on 2016-17.
Gwynedd sees the largest increase at 0.9%, but ten councils will see a cut.
Worst hit are Blaenau Gwent, Merthyr Tydfil, Powys, Torfaen and Wrexham, who face the maximum reduction of 0.5%.
Once inflation is taken into account the overall funding pot amounts to a real terms cut compared to the year before.
Council budgets are made up of a grant from Welsh Government, money raised through council tax, borrowing, and charges for services.
A row over large cuts for some rural councils last year has resulted in a change in the formula used by ministers, with smaller variations between each council's settlement.
Top-up fees have been allocated to some authorities to make sure none of them suffer a cut of more than 0.5%.
Finance and Local Government Secretary Mark Drakeford said: "No council will have to manage on less than 99.5% of the cash provided to them last year.
"When added to the other sources of income available to them, many councils will be able to increase their spending next year."
Later, Mr Drakeford told BBC Wales that local authorities should use an "18 month period of relative stability" to prepare for "harder choices and more difficult times ahead".
They should not "sit back and have a breather because for one year things are less awful than they have been", he said.
Speaking to The Wales Report programme about the prospect of council tax rises next April, he added: "I expect [councils] to weigh up what I know are some competing priorities.
"They must make a contribution to public services through the council tax (and), they must think of those hard-pressed citizens who have to bear the burden of it."
Earlier, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)'s chief executive Steve Thomas said the settlement was "challenging but fair", and warned that councils would still have to make cuts.
"For many local authorities, there will be big choices to make," he said.
"What we have got is a sensible budget and, while everybody will take that view, there won't be any dancing in the streets."
There had been strong lobbying from local government ahead of the budget after councils had complained of losing out to health in recent years.
An official from the WLGA warned earlier in October that Welsh councils could see their running costs increase by £200m over the next few years.


The quality of care at an Aberdeen nursing home has been deemed "unsatisfactory".

A Care Inspectorate report has found that some staff at Kingsmead in Kingswells were not treating people with "dignity and respect".
Some residents had lost weight, with concerns being raised that their nutritional needs were not being met.
The report said that in some incidences, people were being treated like "objects".
The report said one lunchtime service was "chaotic" and the dining experience for people was "very poor".
It said management and staff displayed poor knowledge of clinical needs.
The report called for significant improvements, including staff development.
Mike Best, group managing director of Mead Medical Holdings, said they were concentrating on reducing the number of agency staff, increasing the number of permanent staff and looking at raising standards in the way they operated.
The home can provide care for up to 55 older people, and up to 10 adults with learning disabilities.


Hunters have been spotted shooting dead birds said to be threatening planes at Beirut's international airport, an environmental group has claimed.

The men were spotted on a nearby rubbish dump blamed for attracting birds days after their increasing presence was called an "emergency".
It is feared a bird strike could cause a crash, but the Lebanon Eco Movement have said shooting the seagulls breaches an international conservation agreement.
It is unclear who the hunters are.
Some activists called the shooting a "massacre", while the Lebanon Eco Movement released a statement condemning the killings "under the eyes of the security forces" and in light of the government's vow "to preserve the environment".
The statement accused them of violating the International Convention for the Protection of Aquatic Birds.
Transport Minister Yusef Fenianos promised to deal with the problem earlier this week, after local media reported a Middle East Airlines flight encountered a large flock of birds as it landed on the airport's west runway.
It was suggested an increase in devices emitting bird of prey calls around the airport to scare off the animals could solve the issue.
But groups said this would not go far enough, and called for the dump to be closed - which it was on Thursday, less than a year after it opened.
It had been part of an effort try and resolve the city's waste problems, which had seen piles of rubbish stack up on the streets following the closure of the main dump.
But a planned waste processing facility on the site is yet to be built, allowing rubbish to build up as high as 9m (30ft), according to reports.
As a result, it was attracting rodents and increasing numbers of birds, which were seen flocking around the runways of the airport.


Richard Burton's widow has given a French dictionary used by the late actor to his old school in Port Talbot.

Sally Burton donated the book - complete with the Hollywood star's handwritten notes - to Dyffryn Lower School's library.
Professor Hywel Francis, of Swansea University, presented it on her behalf.
It came after this year's annual Richard Burton lecture by historian Prof Angela John, about how teachers have nurtured the town's acting talent.
Speaking at the school, she said: "John Gielgud said that Burton came from nowhere. He didn't come from nowhere. He came from an extremely rich cultural background in Port Talbot - the town of stars and steel, and the actors' capital of Wales."
She also pointed to Port Talbot's influence on screen stars Michael Sheen and Anthony Hopkins.
Burton - who was born Richard Walter Jenkins in Pontrhydyfen, Neath Port Talbot - died in 1984, aged 58.
His career on stage and screen saw him win Bafta, Golden Globe and Tony Awards, with seven Academy Award nominations.
Swansea University's Richard Burton Centre organises the annual lecture, with this year's event coming 90 years since the actor's birth.


If you're a fan of a selfie, one with the royal family is surely the holy grail?

But the Queen apparently finds it strange when people try to sneakily take a picture with her.
The monarch is said to have made the comments during a "nice chat" to US ambassador Matthew Barzun at Buckingham Palace after his appointment.
Mr Barzun told Tatler magazine: "She was essentially saying, 'I miss eye contact'."
However, despite her apparent dislike of them, the Queen appeared in a fair few pictures at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which became a hot bed for royal selfies.
Australian hockey players Jayde Taylor and Brooke Peris took it a step further during the games, claiming Her Majesty photobombed her picture and appeared to smile at the camera.
Although the Queen isn't that fond of the selfie, other members of the Royal Family don't seem too bothered.
Olympic champion Chris Hoy tweeted a picture that seems to show Prince William jumping into a shot at the games.
Meanwhile, Harry was keen to make the most of being in the background of Trevor Shailer's picture.
The Sport Manawatu chief executive didn't seem to mind as he made the photo his Facebook profile picture.

A Wrexham binman who researched bomb attacks on UK military targets and Downing Street security has been jailed for five years and four months.

Aabid Ali - known as Darren Glennon before he converted to Islam - told his wife he wanted to bomb an RAF base.
He was arrested in November after radicalisation concerns were raised and pleaded guilty to a number of offences.
The judge at Manchester Crown Court said Ali "plainly intended to encourage terrorism".
The court heard that Ali's wife worked at an army barracks.
Last year he was visited by officials over support for so-called Islamic State.
Ali, 49, from Yale Park, Wrexham, told them he converted to Islam while serving a prison sentence about 20 years ago. He believed in Sharia Law, and the UK military was a "legitimate target".
The court heard that despite being offered assistance by the prevent programme officers in October 2016, "the defendant remained unswerved in his beliefs".
The prevent programme is part of the UK government's counter-terrorism strategy, and tries to identify those at risk from radicalisation.
The court heard that security at his wife's workplace was heightened.
Ali had told her he wanted to kill a soldier with a car. He also told her he wanted to bomb an RAF base.
He had researched bomb-making on the internet, as well as travelling to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
He had also researched GCHQ and spying, SAS barracks, IS-related material, executions, and "security arrangements at 10 Downing Street".
Following his arrest he was asked if he had suicidal intentions, to which he replied: "Only as a martyr to jihad."
Ali followed the court proceedings via video link from HMP Chelmsford.
He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two offences of having Isis publications, bomb making manuals, useful for terrorist purposes and a further count of encouraging terrorism, all committed last autumn.
Jailing him, Judge Stockdale QC said Ali was responsible for "extremely serious offending" and was "fixated on terrorism and extremism".
He said Ali remained "deeply radicalised" and wanted to indoctrinate others through his postings on social media.
A previous court hearing was told he published a statement on YouTube encouraging others to take up jihad and terrorism.
Speaking after the sentencing, North Wales Police said Ali's arrest followed an intelligence-led operation between the Wales Extremism Counter Terrorism and West Midlands Counter Terrorism units.
"North Wales Police has strong links with the Muslim community and members of that community have worked with us to provide support to this investigation," said Assistant Chief Constable Richard Debicki.
"Extremism and radicalisation is something that we continue to be constantly vigilant about.
"We also work hard to ensure that efforts to victimise or commit hate crime against Muslim communities across north Wales are met with a no tolerance approach. It is crucially important that this work continues."


Police in India have arrested the head teacher of a school where 23 children died after eating food contaminated with insecticide last week.

Meena Kumari had been sought since the tragedy in eastern Bihar state. She handed herself in on Wednesday.
Police believe she can help explain how the deadly insecticide monocrotophos ended up in the free school lunch.
In all, 47 primary school children fell ill after consuming the meal of rice and soybeans.
The Mid-Day meal scheme, introduced to combat hunger and boost school attendance, provides free food for 120 million children in 1.2 million schools across India.
It often suffers from poor hygiene, and poisoning outbreaks occur from time to time, although rarely if ever with such deadly results.
All of the teachers in Bihar's state-run primary schools have vowed not to participate in the scheme from Friday.
"Teachers and the headmasters have to manage the scheme with little help, low-quality food and corruption at every level," said B Sharma, head of the primary school teachers' association.
"But when such an incident happens, a teacher or the principal is held responsible."
Earlier, police said scientific tests had detected "very toxic" levels of the pesticide monocrotophos in the deadly meals.
Vegetable oil used to prepare the food was revealed to be highly contaminated.
"It was the high quantity of monocrotophos insecticide found in the food which proved fatal for the schoolchildren," said Ravindra Kumar, a top police official in Bihar state capital Patna.
The school's cook, Manju Devi, had earlier accused the school principal, Meena Kumari, of forcing her to use the oil, despite the cook complaining that it "smelled strongly" and looked "dodgy". She said she was told the oil was "home-made and safe to use".
State Education Minister, PK Shahi, said it had been bought from the grocery store run by the teacher's husband.
Police have also been investigating whether the oil was kept in a container previously used to store pesticide.
Reports say Meena Kumari was on her way to the court to hand herself in on Wednesday, but officers stopped her and arrested her before she could go inside.
She faces charges of murder and gross negligence, according to police.
"We have arrested her for questioning," said Sujeet Kumar, the police chief of Saran district, where the children died.
He told the AFP news agency "we need to talk to her first" before bringing charges.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and other state officials have been criticised for being slow to respond to the tragedy.
"I assure you, those found guilty will be taken to court and punished," he told a news conference shortly after the arrest.
Locals complained that it took days for any top-level official to visit the village of Dharmasati Gandaman, where the poisoning occurred on 16 July.
There have been widespread protests following the deaths and children across India have reportedly been refusing school meals.

The 30-year-old had hinted at retirement after winning a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in August.
In a post on social media, Ennis-Hill - also a double world champion - said it was "one of the toughest decisions I've had to make".
"I've always said I wanted to leave on a high and have no regrets," she added.
Ennis-Hill's heptathlon gold was one of the most iconic moments of London 2012's 'Super Saturday'.
But she missed out on retaining her Olympic title in Rio by 35 points to Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam. Speaking afterwards, she said she would not rush a decision over ending her career.
In her statement on Thursday, she said "retiring now is right".
"I want to thank my family and incredible team, who have spent so much of their time supporting me and enabling me to achieve my dreams," she added.
"Also, a huge thank you to all those people who have supported and followed my career over the years."
After winning Olympic gold in London, Ennis-Hill had her first child, Reggie, in 2014 and won a second world title just 13 months later.

Former British sprinter and Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a sad day but it's also a day where we should celebrate what a phenomenal athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill was. She gave so much to sport, achieved so much, so many inspirational moments throughout her career.
"She is a normal girl, she has achieved things that are exceptional and mind-blowing. It is only when you sit back and reflect that you realise how mind-blowing they are."
BBC athletics commentator Brendan Foster described her as "one of the all-time British greats".
He added: "She was carrying the whole nation on her shoulders going into London 2012 and the pressure on her was immense, like nobody else. But she delivered an indelible memory which we shall never forget.
"She has been a pleasure to watch and to be around. The sport will miss her, the British public will miss her but I'm sure she is doing the right thing.
"It's a sad day for the sport - but a great day for her."
Former British heptathlete Kelly Sotherton told BBC Sport she thinks Ennis-Hill "will love not having to go to the track".
She added: "Two years ago she had her first child and she is a very family-oriented person. She's quite private, she's not flash, she wants to have more children. So I think she will slot into her life outside of the sport.
"I hope she continues to play a part in sport, because she has a lot of great attributes that she can share to help future generations."

Foster also believes she will have a future role to play in athletics.
"The sport will be foolish not to keep her on at some level, she is a huge asset," he said.
"She has been up, she's been down, she has won, she's lost, but at every point she has conducted herself magnificently.
"Everyone says she is a great role model for women - and she is - but she has been a role model for men, too. To look at her, she is so tiny standing next to many international athletes, but inside that smiling exterior she has internal steel. Male and female athletes think the world of her."
Ennis-Hill's coach Toni Minichiello said she was "one of our sporting greats", and the manner of her retirement - "walking out of the stadium by stepping off the podium" - was "fitting".
"We've known for a long time this day was coming. Many sports people hold on too long," he added.
"Despite all the fame and money she's never forgotten where she's come from - most of her friends she's had from school days. She's humble, she grafts, she pushes herself hard and she never gives up."
British Athletics described her record as an athlete as "phenomenal", adding: "And that's without considering the challenges of returning from pregnancy to win world gold and Olympic silver."
Retirement means she will not return to the stadium where she won Olympic gold for the World Championships in London in August 2017.

Ennis-Hill's first medal came at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne at the age of 20, when she took bronze behind fellow British athlete Kelly Sotherton.
She then missed out on the medals at the 2007 World Championships and had a year out with injury - missing the 2008 Beijing Olympics - before beginning a period of domination with gold at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
She followed that up with another gold at the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona, Spain and then won silver at the 2011 Worlds in Daegu, South Korea before heading to her home Olympics in London in 2012 as an overwhelming favourite.
She delivered gold on 'Super Saturday', comfortably winning in a British and Commonwealth record.
After missing the 2014 season to have her son, she returned to win her second world title in Beijing in 2015 and then finished second at the Rio Olympics this summer.
Tom Fordyce, chief sports writer
If the timing of her retirement is no great surprise - the emergence of Nafi Thiam at this summer's Olympics moved heptathlon to a new level - Ennis-Hill's career has still been about the gloriously unexpected: winning world titles and Olympic golds when she was supposed to be too small to succeed, overcoming stress fractures that cost her early championship chances, beating women once banned for doping and others who were only retrospectively sanctioned.
Her triumph at London 2012 was one of the iconic moments of an impossible fortnight; to then win back her world crown as the mother of a young son was arguably a greater achievement still. In a tainted era, a splendid role model. British sport has been lucky to have her.
British Athletics performance director Neil Black: "The entire performance team of coaches, athletes and support staff will miss her at events.
"Not only has she competed at the highest level, but she has been a warm and positive presence within the GB team and a great example to the younger team members."

New Zealand pulled away to a 27th consecutive win over battling Wales in a compelling Test match at Eden Park.

Wales led after an hour, but the world champions scored 21 unanswered points in the final quarter to overpower them.
All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo scored twice with Julian Savea, Kieran Read and Nathan Harris also crossing.
Taulupe Faletau and Rhys Webb scored for Wales, but they could not mark Alun Wyn Jones' 100th appearance with a first win in New Zealand.
It was a familiar story for Wales who could not maintain the intensity of their opening half against an All Black side playing for the first time since the World Cup final and without legends Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Ma'a Nonu.
Harris' try with the clock in the red at the end of the game distorted the scoreline, although after the break the All Blacks were completely dominant.
And it could have been worse.
Referee Wayne Barnes controversially disallowed a touchdown by TJ Perenara to the consternation of the home crowd, but redressed the balance by ruling out Faletau's late try.
Wales' last win against the All Blacks was in 1953, and under coach Warren Gatland they have won only twice in 31 games against the big three southern hemisphere countries.
Wales led at half-time after a thrilling see-saw opening 40 minutes when the lead changed hands three times.
A blistering start by the All Blacks yielded only an Aaron Cruden penalty before the visitors delivered a superb team move which culminated in Faletau diving over in the left corner.
It spurred New Zealand into action as Savea touched down from a Cruden cross-kick and then Naholo rounded off a brilliant attack initiated by full-back Ben Smith.
Far from yielding, Wales hit back when the counter-attacking Liam Williams found Rhys Webb on his shoulder and the scrum-half claimed his seventh international try.
But in a key passage of play just before the interval, New Zealand held out after a period of intense pressure on their own try-line.
The All Blacks' ability to step-up a gear meant Wales were always hanging on after the interval.
Dan Biggar's penalty wiped out Cruden's earlier effort.
But with the home line-out getting on top and the introduction of brilliant runners Beauden Barrett, Ardie Savea and Parenara from the bench it was only a matter of time before the All Blacks' pressure paid-off.
Wales have no time to regroup. They face Waikato Chiefs in Hamilton on Tuesday before a second Test against the All Blacks in Wellington on 18 June.
Wales captain Sam Warburton: "The message was we couldn't come here and play safe and I thought some of our counter-attacking was excellent.
"We're really disappointed to concede seven at the end and make the scoreboard look a little bit ugly."
New Zealand captain Kieran Read: "It was what we expected. Wales were fired up and it was a reminder you've got to work hard.
"The boys had a really good attitude in the second half."
New Zealand: Ben Smith, Waisake Naholo, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Joe Moody, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Brodie Retallick, Jerome Kaino, Kieran Read (captain), Sam Cane.

Wales: Liam Williams, George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Hallam Amos, Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb; Gethin Jenkins, Ken Owens, Samson Lee, Bradley Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Ross Moriarty, Sam Warburton, Taulupe Faletau.
Replacements: Scott Baldwin (for Owens), Rob Evans (for Jenkins), Tomas Francis (for Lee), Jake Ball (For Davies), Ellis Jenkins (for Warburton), Gareth Davies (for Webb), Gareth Anscombe (for L Williams), Scott Williams (for Roberts).
Referee: Wayne Barnes (England).
Assistant Referees: Jaco Peyper (South Africa), Will Houston (Australia).


A 13-year-old boy has died after collapsing during a football training session.

Kieran McDade was taken to hospital after collapsing while on the pitch at Dunbeth Football Club in Coatbridge on 18 August.
The club confirmed on Facebook that the teenager died in hospital on Friday morning.
It is now raising funds to help Kieran's family through a JustGiving page.
His sister, Amy, has said that Kieran donated some of his organs, which had already saved the lives of two other people.
A statement posted on the Dunbeth FC Facebook page said: "It is with a broken heart that I have to inform you all that Kieran McDade of our 2003 squad passed away this morning.
"Kieran collapsed at training last Thursday and although all efforts by coaching staff, paramedics, doctors and all the prayers that people said it just wasn't enough.
"This is the most heartbreaking situation that any parent could go through and all the people connected to Dunbeth FC send their condolences to Bernie, Gemma, Amy and all extended family and friends."
The club said Kieran was a "big happy go lucky boy and all his team mates and coaches will miss him terribly."
It added: "A popular boy who gave his all for his team and will forever be remembered for the League Championship he proudly won with his team mates and all the good memories that came with that.
"He was a founder member of the 2003 squad and secured his place as our No 8 which we all knew he treasured dearly.
"It doesn't matter what words I use they will never explain the feeling we have for Kieran or the loss that we share with his family.
"He has left us all with cherished memories but ones that will forever be tinged with sadness that he is not here to relive them with us. Rest in peace KM8."
The Forth Valley Football Development Association (FVFDA) announced on Facebook earlier that as a mark of respect a minute's silence will be held at all youth games on Saturday and no games will be cancelled as "Kieran loved his football".
Following the incident last week messages of support from friends, family and Scottish football players flooded in for the youngster, hoping that he would pull through.
Kieran's sister Amy paid tribute to her brother on Facebook earlier and revealed that he donated some of his organs which have saved two lives.
She wrote: "My family would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for the overwhelming prayers and support you have given us.
"Our beautiful boy is now with the angels and will forever live on in our hearts.
"Would also like to let everyone know that Kieran has remained the most sensitive and generous boy that he is and donated some of his organs which has saved two peoples lives today. What a brave soldier, he will be truly missed."


Britain's Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish have retained their lead going into the final day of the the Ghent Six Day event.

Wiggins, 36, has hinted the race in the city of his birth could be his last.
The pair saw Kenny de Ketele and Moreno de Pauw wipe out their advantage in the first madison and edge in front thanks to a superior points total.
But Wiggins and Cavendish took a lap in the day's final event, the second madison, to go back above the Belgians.
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
After finishing second to De Pauw and De Ketele in last month's Six Day London event, Wiggins said he could be tempted to race there again next year.
But on Monday he told reporters to ask him on Sunday, at the end of the Ghent event, whether this would be his last race.
On Saturday, having finished second in the points race, the British pair were runners-up in the team elimination before winning the one-lap time trial.
They were second to De Ketele and De Pauw in the first madison and the 500m time-trial, but second-place finishes to Elia Viviani and Ilgo Keisse in the last two events were enough to restore their lead.
Both De Ketele and De Pauw in second and Viviani and Keisse in third are a lap down on Cavendish and Wiggins, but possess better points totals, meaning they would overtake the leaders if they make up the deficit.


Zoo officials say that a female red panda named Sunny has been missing from its enclosure since Monday afternoon.

Norfolk police are helping workers at the Virginia Zoo using a "geothermal camera" to search the grounds for her, officials said on Wednesday.
People living near the zoo have been asked to keep an eye out for the reddish-brown mammal.
Zoo director Greg Bockheim told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper love may have driven 19-month-old Sunny to run away.
"This is panda breeding season, so the animals become a bit more agitated," Mr Bockheim said.
"We're super hopeful we'll find her today," he added.
Officials are hopeful that she may still be on zoo grounds.
"Red pandas are generally not considered aggressive animals, but like any wild animal its behavior can be unpredictable and you should not try to touch, feed, or capture Sunny yourself," zoo officials said in a statement.
The zoo asks that the public call their hotline if they spot Sunny.
One neighbour told local news that she plans to follow that advice.
"The panda's probably scared himself," Lazara Jorrin told CBS News. "This is new to him, so we don't know how he'll react."
Red pandas - which are native to China and the Himalayas - have been known to escape zoo enclosures in the past.
Rusty the red panda escaped from the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington DC in 2013 and was later found roaming the streets.
In 2007, the same Virginia Zoo lost sight of another red panda named Yin before discovering it in a nearby tree.
And in 2009 a red panda escaped from the London Zoo and was discovered on a park bench in Regent's Park in the early hours.


The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has said the water quality at Strathclyde Park loch will be safe for triathlon swimmers at Glasgow 2014.

The agency has worked to address problems with bacterial contamination and the threat of toxic algae ahead of the Commonwealth Games event in July.
North Lanarkshire Council has installed a floating barrier system to protect the swim area.
Sepa's Calum McPhail said the water quality would be checked weekly.
We are all very confident now that we are looking forward to a high-quality sports event
And the agency added the manmade loch is susceptible to bacterial contamination after very heavy rainfall because it is fed by "an urbanised river system" that takes water from drains, sewage, run-off from farmer's fields and the like.
In addition, the Sepa, who are working in partnership with the council and Glasgow 2014, had identified a risk from high sunlight when "there could have been an algal bloom of potentially toxic cyanobacteria" that would have breached international triathlon water quality criteria.
Mr McPhail, Sepa's environment quality manager, said lessons had been learned from organisers of the London 2012 Olympics, who had similar problems with water quality. And he explained Sepa was "very confident" that the system of barriers and safe chemical treatment meant that "both the bacterial contamination and the risk of a blue-green algal bloom are both very much under control".
"A year ago we identified that one of the ways of breaking the potential pollution pathway was to build this multiple floating barrier system that protects a segregated swim area," Mr McPhail explained.
"There is a spare set of barriers ready to be dropped so it's a double protection system.
"The big risk factor has been after periods of very heavy rain when you know that the main part of the loch does have elevated levels of sewage and rural-derived faecal indicators, which are bacteria."
He added: "We know that can still happen, but when we do testing on both parts of the loch, the inside part of the protected swim area has been very high quality so we know that the barrier is working.
"We are all very confident now that we are looking forward to a high-quality sports event.
"Results to date give us a considerable level of confidence and we are keeping a continual monitoring on a weekly basis all the way up to the Games on the 24 and 26 July."


The Bank of England has made a dramatic rise to its inflation forecast for next year, predicting that the rate will almost triple.

The Bank now expects inflation to hit 2.7% next year, up from the current rate of 1%.
It also raised its forecast for economic growth next year to 1.4% from 0.8%, but cut expectations for 2018 to 1.5% from 1.8%.
An interest rate cut this year was no longer an option, the Bank indicated.
"In light of the developments of the past three months, all MPC [Monetary Policy Committee] members agreed that the guidance it had issued following its August meeting regarding the likelihood of a further cut in [the] bank rate had expired," the Bank said.
The sharp rise in inflation expectations was blamed on the slide in the pound since the referendum, which is driving up prices of imported goods.
The Bank does not expect inflation to return to its 2% target until 2020.
The revisions to growth indicate that the Bank now thinks the impact of the Brexit vote will be felt later than expected.
Inflation is an approaching risk and the economy is facing difficult times ahead, according to the Bank.
Yes, it has upgraded its growth forecasts markedly for this year and next.
But it has downgraded growth for 2018 as business investment and trading relationship uncertainty start to feed through to economic output.
That downgrade is so substantial that at the end of 2018, the Bank believes the economy will be on aggregate more than 2.5% smaller than expected before the Brexit referendum vote.
That's a bigger relative decrease in output than the Bank predicted earlier this year.
This is economic pain delayed, not cancelled.

Reaction to Bank's rate decision
Other forecasters see an even more dramatic rise in inflation. This week the National Institute for Economic and Social Research said it expected inflation to quadruple to about 4% in the second half of next year.
The think tank also warned that prices would "accelerate rapidly" during 2017 as the fall in sterling is passed on to consumers.
Explaining the raised growth forecasts for this year and next, Bank governor Mark Carney said that, since the vote to leave the EU, household spending had held up better than expected.
"For households, the signs of an economic slowdown are notable by their absence," he said.
But he warned that households would see "very modest" growth in their incomes over the coming years.
The Bank of England argues that food and energy prices have stopped falling and an increase in the price of imported goods will weigh on household budgets.
The Bank also warned that Britain's access to EU markets could be "materially reduced" following Brexit, which would hit economic growth over a "protracted period".
The pound jumped higher against the dollar and euro - to $1.24 and €1.12 - following the Bank's move away from a rate cut and the High Court's ruling that parliament must vote on the start of the Brexit process.
Mr Carney said the court defeat for the government was "just one of many twists and turns that are likely to happen" as the UK leaves the European Union.
He told BBC economics editor Kamal Ahmed there was already economic uncertainty about Brexit, but that at the moment households were "looking through that uncertainty".
The Bank governor also reiterated he would leave his post in 2019, even if the court ruling means the Brexit process is delayed.


Football League clubs have voted not to reintroduce artificial pitches.

A vote on the issue in November 2014 ended in a tie but clubs were balloted again last week and decided against the use of plastic playing surfaces.
A Football League spokesman said the "majority" of clubs "prefer to play their matches on grass pitches".
The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) also welcomed the decision, which it said was in line with players' wishes.
Simon Barker, assistant chief executive of the PFA, said: "From the players' point of view they just want the best surface available to them.
"Some of the reasons why clubs wanted [plastic pitches] wasn't about the quality, it was about the extra income they could bring into the club by leasing it out.
"Most of the people we were speaking to, the figures being quoted [for extra income] were totally inflated. That was the issue regarding ourselves [as well as] the health and safety issues."
Artificial surfaces were banned in professional football in 1995 over problems with ball roll and injuries.
However, they can be used in the FA Cup and at Conference level.


England's Luke Donald trails leader Ricky Barnes by two shots after three rounds of the Texas Open.

Former world number one Donald, second in last week's RBC Heritage in South Carolina, shot a four-under 68 to move to nine under in San Antonio.
American Barnes - chasing his first PGA Tour victory - carded a 66 to lead by a stroke from compatriot Brendan Steele, who went round in 72.
Ireland's Padraig Harrington is four shots off the lead after a 68.


An Australian court has approved a record payout of almost A$500m (£260m; $406m) for those who survived - or lost family members to - one of the country's worst bushfires.

The payout - the largest class action settlement in Australia - was over the deadliest of the Black Saturday fires, which killed 173 people in 2009.
Thousands sued a power company and others for negligence over the fire.
The settlement does not include any admissions of liability.
The case centred on the most deadly blaze on Black Saturday, 7 February 2009, when wildfires swept across several areas in the state of Victoria.
This particular fire, in the Kilmore East area north of Melbourne, killed 119 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes.
A 2009 Royal Commission found that the fire began when an electricity line failed between two poles. Contact between the live conductor and a cable stay supporting the pole caused arcing that ignited vegetation, the report said.
The plaintiffs accused SP AusNet of failing to adequately maintain its power lines.
They also sued Utility Services Corporation Ltd, the line maintenance contractor, and the Victoria state government's Department of Sustainability and Environment for inadequate prevention measures.
Earlier this year, the group was awarded a settlement of A$497.4m ($467m, £274m), of which SP AusNet is expected to pay A$378.6m.
The settlement - which includes the state government - does not come with any admission of liability by any of the parties.
The agreement needed the final approval of the court, which was given on Tuesday.
Carol Matthews, who lost her son, Sam, in the fire, told the AFP news agency that the Victoria state Supreme Court's approval was "a huge relief".
"Nothing will ever replace what we have lost, but today we have been vindicated for standing up for our rights," the agency quotes her as saying.


A man has died after a three-vehicle crash in Perth and Kinross.

The incident, which involved two vans and a 4x4 that was towing a caravan, happened on the A91 at Mawcarse at about 15:15.
A 63-year-old van driver died as a result of his injuries. No-one else was injured.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent two appliances to the scene. A Police Scotland spokesman said investigations were ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Tayside Police on the 101 number.


A primary school head teacher has warned parents that children found with e-cigarettes face being excluded.

There has been a "worrying" increase in the number of pupils caught with the devices at Lowerhouse Junior School in Burnley, said principal Claire Holgate.
In a letter to parents, she said it was "incredibly concerning" nicotine products had been found.
The letter says e-cigarettes put "staff at risk" and alleges nicotine use has been linked to memory impairment.
It warns that pupils found with e-cigarettes "will be dealt with in line with the school's behaviour policy", which could lead to exclusion.
In a statement to the BBC, Mrs Holgate said: "A letter was sent to parents to reinforce the message about the possible dangers of using e-cigarettes.
"We also wanted to make parents aware that we're doing what we can in school to discourage young people from smoking or vaping in any form, by providing some age-appropriate education to all our pupils about the potential dangers."
When asked why the school believed that nicotine use had been linked to memory impairment, it said Mrs Holgate had taken her research from the American Lung Association's website.
The association states that "nicotine use during adolescence and young adulthood has been associated with lasting cognitive and behavioral impairments, including effects on working memory and attention", however, the section of the study it cites actually says smoking - not nicotine use or vaping - has been linked with these negative outcomes.
The school added that "there have been no incidents at school affecting staff".
The school, in Liverpool Road, was rated as "good" by Ofsted on its last inspection in June 2014.
In January 2013 the primary - which caters for pupils aged 7-11 - had been branded "inadequate".
