answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>Since taking over management of the Croxley Rail Link in November 2015, Transport for London (TfL) has been reviewing the main work contracts. From discussions between officials in the Department and in TfL, we are aware that, as a result of prices received from the supply chain, the costs of the scheme are currently higher than the agreed budget. We understand TfL is considering how best to deal with this.</p><p>At a meeting with the Mayor on 5 December the Secretary of State for Transport re-confirmed the importance that the Government attaches to the scheme which will deliver significant transport benefits and significantly boost economic growth in Watford and the wider north west London area. Indeed, the Government, together with local councils and the Local Enterprise Partnership, has already committed substantial funding to this scheme and nearly 85% of the total budgeted cost.</p><p>Under the terms of the funding agreement in place for the scheme, TfL committed to the agreed budget of £284.4m and so agreed to meet any costs incurred over that budget. Conversely, they would retain the full amount of any cost savings. The Department will not be providing any additional funding for the scheme and expects TfL to complete it as agreed.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/12/2016 15:54:30 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2016 answer text <p>The Airports Commission shortlisted three airport expansion schemes, two at Heathrow and one at Gatwick. The Government accepted the Commission’s shortlist in December 2015 and is considering all of the evidence very carefully before reaching a view on its preferred scheme. The Government is not providing a running commentary on this work and nor would it be appropriate to outline specific pieces of evidence before a decision is announced on its preference. Any work to inform an announcement will be set out in subsequent publications and associated consultation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 08/09/2016 13:43:25 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2015 answer text <p>Highways England combine maintenance and improvement schemes to maximise activity within roadworks. However, lane closures are sometimes left in place through the day and then work undertaken overnight. Removing these completely each day would be time consuming and would delay projects and motorists for longer.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/10/2015 13:36:16 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
