This creates a primary power to replace court-based liability orders with administrative orders, which should significantly speed up this key enforcement process.</p><p> </p><p>We have concluded a public consultation to support regulations to implement administrative liability orders. The Government published their response on 12 February 2024.</p><p> </p><p>Secondary legislation is now being developed, which, once implemented, will reduce the process from 22 weeks to as low as 6 weeks. This will be brought forward as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 16/04/2024 15:35:55 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government takes seriously the obligation to provide a safe and healthy working environment in the United Kingdom (UK).</p><p>While the UK has not ratified the International Labour Organisation’s 1981 Convention on Occupational Safety and Health, there are already general and specific duties on employers, in our primary and secondary legislation, that require them to ensure the health and safety of their employees. Some of those duties predate the 1981 Convention, such as the well-established duties in Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 23/02/2024 12:15:33 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the capital spend on transport was per head of population in (a) the North East, (b) Northumberland and (c) Wansbeck constituency in the last 12 months for which figures are available.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>Figures on public sector spend per head of population at a regional level are available as part of the government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. However, the benefits from this spend on transport interventions will often accrue to motorists or passengers far beyond the residents of the immediate local area or region. This is particularly the case for spending on motorways, trunk roads, and the railway which connect cities and regions across the country. Although the CRA attempts to allocate expenditure on the basis of the regions that benefit from the spend, rather than where it is made, inevitably allocations are not always precise.</p><p> </p><p>The latest CRA statistics (2016) for the North East of England suggest that in 2015-16, total government expenditure on transport per head of population was £182. This information is available for government office regions only, and therefore is unavailable for Northumberland or the Wansbeck constituency.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 12/09/2017 11:53:26 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2017 answer text <p>We have continually urged all sides to get back around the negotiating table and end this dispute which is causing immense pain and misery for thousands of hard working commuters. In December last year the Secretary of State offered to meet with the unions to try and help resolve this dispute. He repeated this offer in a letter to the unions in January. However we have yet to receive a reply indicating that they are willing to suspend the strikes and meet.</p><p> </p><p>Ministers and officials have been working tirelessly to try and find a way through this dispute, but the unions appear to have little interest in any resolution that does not involve a full roll-back of modern working practices which includes the introduction of new trains.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 13/01/2017 10:08:21 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
