Since announcing ‘one-click’ compensation in October 2018, the Government has introduced a requirement for new franchises to introduce simple one-click automated claims systems, available via smartphones and smartcard registration, to make it easier for passengers to claim compensation when they have suffered delays. Automated claims processing benefits a broad spectrum of rail passengers whereas automatic compensation schemes only benefit passengers with specific ticket types.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/05/2019 12:46:31 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

The Government is investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles and schemes to support chargepoint infrastructure. The Road to Zero Strategy, published in July last year, sets out a clear pathway to zero emissions, to give clarity and certainty to both industry and motorists.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:21:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

In fact there has been a stalling of progress in road casualty reductions across many economically advanced countries, including in countries with targets (e.g. Sweden and the Netherlands).</p><p>The 2015 Road Safety statement sets out the Department for Transport’s overall principles and priorities in relation to British road safety. Local authorities, the police and other bodies are free to set their own road safety targets if they wish.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:17:51 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
