In the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the provisions of the EU airspace and air traffic management regulations would be replicated in national law under the EU Withdrawal Act. The UK would also continue to be a member of the intergovernmental organisation, Eurocontrol, providing a mechanism to coordinate on airspace issues with other European States.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/04/2019 10:25:30 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
	uin	HL15189
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2019 answer text <p>Funding for the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) is provided to local authorities through the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG’s) revenue support grant. This funding is not ringfenced, which enables local authorities to make spending decisions that more closely match local needs and circumstances. It is misleading to talk about the grant in isolation when local authorities have access to council tax, business rates and other local income to deliver their local services.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/04/2019 10:27:52 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
	uin	HL14671
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to change the GB domestic drivers’ hours legislation applicable to drivers of local bus services. The existing legislation is both important and appropriate in ensuring the safety of drivers and others on the road. However, any further restrictions could risk imposing unreasonable burdens on industry, particularly as fatal accidents involving bus or coaches have been falling over time, from 120 in 2007 to 55 in 2017. It is worth noting that reported involvement in a fatal accident does not necessarily indicate fault or causation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 02/04/2019 13:51:54 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
