tabling member constituency	Solihull
tabling member printed	Julian Knight
uin	98325
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>The Motor Cycles (Protective Helmets) Regulations 1988, which require motorcyclists to wear a helmet, do not apply to quad bikes as they fall outside the definition given of a motor bicycle, which is defined as a “two-wheeled motorcycle”. However, The Highway Code (Rule 83) does include advice that riders and passengers of motor tricycles and quadricycles, also called quad bikes, should wear a protective helmet.</p><p>There are no immediate plans to make the wearing of helmets compulsory but we are keeping the position under review; there are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration such as, the level of use, the safety of riders in a collision and the availability or otherwise of seat belts.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 12/01/2022 13:11:24 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what environmental assessments and estimates were made on the effect of carbon emissions as part of the decision to allow rail fares to increase by 3.8 per cent. in March 2022.
tabling member constituency	Warrington North
tabling member printed	Charlotte Nichols
uin	98523
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2022 answer text <p>The Department considers many factors when assessing the impact of a fares change, notably the impacts on passengers and taxpayers. Whilst no specific assessment of environmental impacts was made, as the Department chose to hold fares to the Retail Prices Index (RPI) from last summer rather than the follow the previous year’s RPI + 1 per cent, it is likely that this decision would make rail travel more attractive than it would otherwise have been, which would have a positive effect on the environment by reducing carbon emissions from other transport modes.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 11/01/2022 10:29:31 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The next Cycling and Walking report to Parliament, due to be published in spring 2022, will contain details of all of the funding that the Government has provided for active travel schemes, including cycle lanes, to each local authority in each year. This is complex as the funding comes from several different funding streams, making a short summary difficult. Some of the information, such as a breakdown of how much capital funding was provided to each local authority for active travel schemes in 2020/21 under the Active Travel Fund, is already available on gov.uk. Copies of the previous report to Parliament and funding breakdowns by local authority covering the years up to 2018/19 are available in the House libraries as well as on gov.uk.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 12/01/2022 13:55:36 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
