question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 21 March 2019 to Question 233640, whether the three year settlement agreement and possible project listings with Eurotunnel procures the same vital freight capacity as that procured with DFDS and Brittany Ferries; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2019 answer text <p>The settlement agreement secured the vital freight capacity that Government has purchased from DFDS and Brittany Ferries, and therefore the unhindered supply of medicines for our NHS, by removing a legal risk of the contracts with these companies being declared ineffective by the Court. The agreement itself does not procure additional freight capacity, nor was it ever intended to. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, to ensure value for money, Eurotunnel has agreed that the entirety of the settlement sum will be used on projects to improve security, traffic flow and infrastructure resilience around the Channel tunnel site.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 27/03/2019 13:43:15 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>We have been working closely with the Hampshire LRF to understand traffic flows in Portsmouth, and to assess the potential for traffic disruption at Portsmouth port in the event of a no deal. Whilst our primary focus has been on freight volumes, as this is where we expect the risk of disruption to be greatest, the LRF have shared modelling with us which covers all traffic volumes, and we have been drawing on this when engaging with them on their proposed mitigations for dealing with potential traffic disruption.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 26/03/2019 14:37:11 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

In a deal scenario, flights will continue as now during the time-limited Implementation Period. In a no deal scenario, the EU have adopted a regulation which gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU for 12 months, and the UK will reciprocate these rights for EU airlines. We will continue to work closely with the aviation industry.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 21/03/2019 14:59:22 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. The Government has accelerated no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality. It is the responsible thing to do. The EU has adopted a Regulation, giving UK airlines the rights to fly to and from the EU for 12 months in a no deal scenario, and the UK Government will provide at least equivalent rights to EU airlines. UK airports will continue under the same aviation security regime as they do now. The Government works closely with the aviation sector, including UK airports, and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 25/03/2019 15:17:30 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South

uin	234269
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department has assessed the potential impacts of changes in freight traffic and border processes on queues at Portsmouth International Port (PIP) in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal. This assessment uses hourly freight traffic arrivals data into the port, therefore accounting for peaks and troughs in HGV arrivals over the week. Queuing from the port can currently happen during peak periods of normal operation. However, as a result of potential increased freight arrivals and limited throughput capacity at the freight entry to the port, we project that up to sixty HGVs could be queuing to enter the port at peak times in a worst case scenario. Although this would impact on the M275, we expect these queues to dissipate as arrival rates drop off beyond peak hours.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling grouped question UIN 234270 234271 question first answered 26/03/2019 13:56:48 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The principal role of the Government has been to agree the specific areas of expenditure, ensuring that they have wider security and infrastructure resilience benefits. It is for Eurotunnel, not Government, to determine the selection and prioritisation of projects. Government will, consistent with the Settlement Agreement, consider how the expenditure is committed or expended. If there are concerns about whether it is being used for a permitted purpose it would fully exercise its rights under the dispute resolution process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 22/03/2019 12:33:50 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
