answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department received applications for a total of 11,392 permits from 1,991 operator licence holders. Following the application of allocation criteria previously set out to the House, 984 ECMT annual permits have been allocated to operators and a further 2,832 short term permits will start to be allocated by March 2019. The Government has secured additional ECMT permits for 2019 and is in discussions with road haulage stakeholders on the process for allocating these. While hauliers are keen to have certainty on ECMT permits, the Government does not expect these to be primary means of securing market access to the EU for UK hauliers, given good progress on the EU Commission’s proposal on reciprocal access, unilateral measures and bilateral agreements.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 08/02/2019 13:08:40 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

uin	216963
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>Highways England does not hold data on the number of penalty notices issued for travelling specifically Southbound on the Dartford Crossing.</p><p> </p><p>All Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are believed to be correct when issued in good faith by Highways England, but under the terms of the Dart Charge scheme PCNs may be contested under the representation and independent appeals procedure for a number of reasons - including circumstances where the charging authority followed all procedures correctly. Since the start of the scheme in November 2014, up to the end of December 2018, a total of 11,057,905 PCNs have been issued. Of these less than 1% (approximately 92,000) of the total are deemed by Highways England to have been issued incorrectly. This can be for a range of reasons but mainly includes the misreading of vehicle registrations and road user charge payments not being allocated as the payee intended.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/02/2019 13:28:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
