	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2021 answer text <p>There is no temporary permitted weight limit of 32 tonnes for volumetric concrete mixers (VCMs). 32 tonnes is the standard weight limit applicable to 4-axle rigid HGVs.</p><p> </p><p>Following consultation in 2017, the Government implemented a temporary arrangement whereby a limited number of VCMs would be permitted to temporarily operate at weights higher than the standard 32 tonnes for vehicles of their design, using Vehicle Special Orders (VSOs). This was in recognition that, historically, some in the sector had operated VCMs at laden weights in excess of the 32-tonne limit. This temporary arrangement was put in place to allow time for the industry to adjust to the normal permitted weight limits over a reasonable timescale. It was not enacted as a step towards increasing permitted vehicle weights more widely.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 18/10/2021 12:34:33 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) advice has provided evidence of an enhanced risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 for both transport workers and passengers. This advice has been published on the government website and is titled ‘Transmission and Control of SARS-CoV-2 on Public Transport’.</p><p> </p><p>To further advance our understanding of the transmission risk, the Department has worked with SAGE to develop the Transport Risk Assessment for COVID Knowledge (TRACK) research project. The Department has also commissioned other research projects, including working with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory on transmission risk in aviation.</p><p> </p><p>As part of our Safer Transport Guidance we recommend that passengers reduce the risk of transmission by washing or sanitising their hands before and after using public transport, keeping 2m apart where possible and 1m if not, and wearing face coverings when travelling unless they are exempt. Transport operators also enforce this messaging with signs at transport hubs, and regular announcements at platforms and on public transport.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 02/11/2020 17:21:03 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
