question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many times the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has overturned a decision to grant an exemption from disqualification on the grounds of exceptional hardship to a driver who incurred 12 or more points on their driving licence in each of the last five years.

The DVLA’s role is purely to record the decision made by the court.</p><p> </p><p>If the DVLA receives a notification for a driver with 12 or more penalty points who has not been disqualified, the DVLA will alert courts to this. This enables the courts to consider re-opening cases and disqualifying drivers where appropriate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 29/04/2021 11:22:22 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 21 April (HL14705), what assessment they have made of the impact that additional stops at Swinderby train station will have on journey times between Lincoln and (1) Leicester, (2) Derby, and (3) Birmingham; and whether they consider reducing those train journey times to make them competitive with the equivalent journeys by car to be a strategic priority.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL15243
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2021 answer text <p>The maximum impact of additional services calls at Swinderby is 2 minutes onto the journey times; Midlands Connect are currently developing a proposal for line speed improvements between Lincoln and Nottingham, as part of their role in promoting strategic transport investment across the Midlands region. This aims to reduce journey times for passenger services by up to two minutes between Lincoln and Newark, although even with these journey time savings and the removal of Swinderby calls, the relative competitiveness of journeys by train versus car would remain broadly unchanged.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 28/04/2021 14:12:57 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
