question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effect the European Commission’s draft proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (1.8.2018 COM(2018) 568 final 2018/0299 (COD)), amending Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013, with regard to the withdrawal of the UK from the EU will have on the UK economy after Brexit.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL10451
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government has made no assessment of the effect of this proposal, which is the result of the European Union’s own preparations for a “no deal” scenario. It is a change to the definition of the corridor which will enable the Republic of Ireland to maintain direct links to the mainland of Europe. The government is making similar plans for the unlikely event of a “no deal” scenario, but is confident of achieving a deal, which is in the interests of all parties.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 23/10/2018 16:16:08 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL10452
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>Rail freight plays an important role in supporting the UK’s future prosperity after we leave the EU, and our connections to the continent through the Channel Tunnel are vital.</p><p>Use of the North Sea – Mediterranean Corridor has been negligible in the UK, with only one path requested to date. Freight operating companies prefer to use access rights granted under national rules which offer greater certainty, with over 2,000 rail freight services running through the Channel Tunnel in 2017. To facilitate the continued smooth functioning and operation of cross-border rail services, the Government has agreed with the Article 50 Task Force that the UK will negotiate bilateral arrangements with France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the Republic of Ireland.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 23/10/2018 10:56:41 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how HS2 will ensure the stability of the tracks when they pass over large sink holes in the areas of old mine workings; when a detailed geological survey will be done in those areas; and how the track alignment and levels will be maintained in areas where continuous settlement is likely.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL10453
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>HS2 Ltd is following an established process of risk management to ultimately ensure the stability of high-speed rail infrastructure in all areas. This includes detailed desk study (the acquisition and interpretation of existing available data), field investigation including geological survey, interpretation of ground conditions, design, construction and maintenance through operation.</p><p> </p><p>At each stage the level of site-specific knowledge increases and the risk is reduced. Mining-related hazards will be investigated within this process, and will be mitigated. Voiding in the ground due to the presence of mineworkings is such a hazard, since if left untreated it could result in sinkholes.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 23/10/2018 15:17:33 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how much funding the UK has received under TEN-T programmes during the last five years; and whether they will make a similar amount of funding available for the five years after Brexit.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL10456
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>For the current Multi-Annual Financial Framework (2014-2020), we have received approximately €345 million.</p><p> </p><p>Under the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will continue to participate in all EU programmes, including the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), until programme closure. This means that UK projects will continue to be able to bid for CEF funding until the end of the programme in 2020.</p><p> </p><p>To provide even more certainty, the Chancellor has guaranteed funding for certain EU funded projects agreed before the end of 2020. This ensures that UK organisations, such as charities, businesses and universities, will continue to receive funding over a project’s lifetime if they successfully bid into EU-funded programmes before the end of 2020, even in the unlikely event of a no-deal scenario.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 23/10/2018 12:28:33 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
