	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2019 answer text <p>The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have published new product standards for drones which will become fully applicable by 2022. Some of these standards include the mandatory requirement for drones to be fitted with a geo-awareness software before being placed on the market. This software will notify the pilot when the drone is entering a restricted zone and when it’s coming close to other aircraft. This new requirement will ensure that our airspace is safely shared and managed more effectively to maintain the UK’s strong air safety record.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 26/06/2019 12:18:25 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what forecast they have made of the energy infrastructure investment required over the next 30 years to support freight transport and decarbonisation.
	tabling member printed	Viscount Waverley
	uin	HL7812
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2023 answer text <p>Through the Freight Energy Forum – a commitment in the Future of freight: a long-term plan (June 2022) - the Department will work with stakeholders from the freight and energy sectors to understand the infrastructure requirements across the freight system and to develop a specific Zero Emission HGV Infrastructure Strategy. The Strategy will ensure the delivery of the recharging and refuelling infrastructure required to meet the 2035 and 2040 phase out dates for non-zero emission HGVs. The Strategy will complement the zero- emission road freight demonstrator (ZERFD) programme. ZERFD will demonstrate multiple zero emission HGV technologies at scale on UK roads to identify how they can each best be used to decarbonise the heaviest HGVs. The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles is working with fleets and industry bodies, such as the EV Fleet Accelerator and the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, to understand the diverse charging requirements of fleets and how these can be factored into local planning and strategies.</p><p> </p><p>Energy network operators are responsible for ensuring future demand can be met and they are incentivised to do so through the regulatory framework set out by Ofgem, the independent regulator. Since 1 April 2023 Ofgem has decided to socialise all the distribution network reinforcement costs for demand connections and to socialise a greater proportion of these costs for generation connections.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 18/05/2023 13:39:07 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	tabling member printed	Viscount Waverley
	uin	HL7814
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2023 answer text <p>HS2 will release capacity on the West Coast Main Line which will be used for additional local and regional passenger trains and freight. No decisions have been made as to exactly what trains will run and work is ongoing to develop the optimal service pattern which best meets the needs of passengers and freight customers. Rephasing of HS2 will be taken account of in this work as it develops. HS2 has not been delayed in terms of Phase 1 and Phase 2b to Manchester.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has not undertaken an assessment of the impact on freight of the delivery of schemes being developed in the Roads Investment Strategy 3 (RIS3) pipeline in RIS4. This is because those schemes were not committed nor fully developed. The Government has announced that two RIS2 schemes - A27 Arundel and A5036 Princess Way in Liverpool – will be deferred. In addition, construction of Lower Thames Crossing will be slowed down by two years to ensure that there is an effective and deliverable plan.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 19/05/2023 11:27:09 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
