	uin	HL989
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>We want to see more and more people using public transport - one of the key ways of encouraging this is to make sure it is a safe option. The transport industry, local authorities, the police and others are already investing in, and undertaking, wide-ranging initiatives to improve the personal security of public transport passengers and staff and to keep our public transport systems as low crime environments.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government is not readily able to increase passenger services in commercial transport markets. For example, decisions about bus services outside London are largely a matter for the private sector. Equally, it is difficult to see that any such increase would have a positive effect on matters of personal security.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 14/07/2014 13:32:11 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text <p>I refer my noble Lord to my answer of 6 July (HL794) in the assessment made by Highways Agency, now Highways England, in relation to motorways and trunk roads.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport published road condition statistics in March 2015 based upon data reported by local highway authorities. These suggest that principal ‘A’ roads in England under the responsibility of local highway authorities are starting to show an improvement in condition. It is noteworthy that funding allocated to local highway authorities for local highways maintenance in the 2010-2015 Parliament was £1billion more than in the 2005 to 2010 Parliament. The Department for Transport also set out in December 2014 how it is allocating funding of just under £6 billion to local authorities in England, outside London, for highways maintenance between 2015 and 2021. This represents an increase of around 5% compared to the previous six year period.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/07/2015 11:41:10 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
