	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2023 answer text <p>On 16 April 2023, the Government announced that all plans for new smart motorways have been cancelled, recognising the lack of confidence felt by drivers and cost pressures. This means no new smart motorways will be built.</p><p> </p><p>We are focused on investing £900m to add further safety improvements to existing smart motorways, including constructing 150 extra emergency areas – so that people can continue to get around easily and with increased confidence.</p><p> </p><p>Any reduction in capacity on our motorways, the safest roads in the country, could put more drivers and passengers at risk of death or serious injury by forcing them onto roads that are less safe. Restoring the hard shoulder while maintaining capacity would be hugely disruptive and come at enormous cost.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 08/06/2023 08:30:23 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of implications for his policies of the decision by the Office of Rail and Road to change timetable publishing periods from 12 to eight weeks.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2023 answer text <p>Network Rail is seeking to reduce the time it takes to produce rail timetables to improve the industry's ability to respond more quickly to changes in demand patterns. This would mean that final timetables are published eight weeks in advance rather than 12 weeks as they are currently required to do.</p><p> </p><p>Plans for this change have not been finalised and are a decision for the rail industry. The plans would require a change to the Network Licence Conditions for Network Rail. In response to Network Rail’s proposal, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), as the regulator, launched a formal public consultation seeking to take public views into account when making its decision about the licence change. The consultation ended on 25 May 2023 and the ORR are currently assessing stakeholders’ views before re-engaging with the industry on the matter.</p><p> </p><p>In anticipation of this change taking place, Network Rail has been working with operators to develop systems that would enable provisional timetables to be published earlier to facilitate advance ticket booking - a measure I firmly support. The Department expects the rail industry to ensure that passengers are at the heart of decision making and that any new processes protect and enhance the customer experience.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 12/06/2023 11:06:45 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
