tabling member printed	Lord Monks
uin	HL9346
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>During this legislative cycle, the Government does not currently intend to complete the ratification of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Montreal Protocol 2014 on disruptive passengers. The majority of the provisions within this protocol are already part of UK law, and I am confident we can take necessary action in regard to disruptive passengers. For example, the UK already has state of landing and state of operator jurisdiction, which means that disruptive passengers on any flight that touches down within the UK can be charged and, if necessary, prosecuted.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/07/2018 10:30:07 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

tabling member constituency	Bristol North West
tabling member printed	Darren Jones
uin	162135
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2018 answer text <p>Following the Government announcement on 21 July 2017 to abolish tolls by the end of 2018 the Government has not undertaken any further modelling on the impact of abolishing the current tolls on traffic volumes in Bristol.</p><p> </p><p>Previous modelling work was undertaken on the impact of removing tolls compared to the 2014 toll level, rather than comparing specifically with toll levels either when the decision to abolish tolls was made or at the end of the concession period. That modelling also covers a different time period to the option being delivered and so there will be differences from actual impacts. That modelling did show that there would be an increase in traffic as a result of abolishing the tolls and that this would result in approximately 16,000 extra trips per day either into or out of Bristol in 2022. This is equivalent to 8,000 two-way journeys per day.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England are conducting modelling work to look at the impacts of moving from the current level of tolls to no tolls at the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/07/2018 13:50:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
