	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 17 July (HL9180), what is the process for collecting the Heavy Goods Vehicle Levy (HGV) levy from lorries from the Republic of Ireland; and what assessment they have made of whether, and if so to what extent, lorries from the Republic of Ireland evade the HGV levy.
	tabling member printed	Lord Morris of Aberavon
	uin	HL9989
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>Lorry drivers from the Republic of Ireland pay for the HGV Levy in the same ways as users from other countries. The levy can be paid online, at a number of official Point of Sale (PoS) locations, at driver self-serve facilities offered by some operators and through a number of booking agents. The majority of levy purchases are via the HGV Levy website.</p><p> </p><p>The overall compliance rate for foreign vehicles is high, according to figures collected by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency in Great Britain, at 95%. The Department for Transport has not produced equivalent compliance rates by country of origin, but there are indications that vehicles from Ireland in Great Britain have a very similar compliance rate compared to vehicles from other countries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 17/09/2018 13:16:55 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>In line with answers provided to previous similar questions, the government’s focus has been on ensuring that the industry returns to a stable timetable as quickly as possible and that passengers in the most affected areas are compensated for the disruption caused. This approach is delivering for passengers, with the performance of both Govia Thameslink Railway and Northern having improved significantly in recent weeks, andcompensation schemes are now in place for all of the affected operators ensuring the disruption that passengers have experienced is financially recognised. Improving the performance of our railways in the North remains the focus, reflected in the recent appointment of Richard George as the single person to lead rail performance improvement in the North.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 17/09/2018 14:56:18 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
