question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of moving from paper notices attached to the vehicle to sending Fixed Penalty Notices for parking offences directly to the registered keeper's address.
tabling member constituency	Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle
tabling member printed	Emma Hardy
uin	48483
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of dispensing with paper notices. In 2015, Ministers limited the use of CCTV evidence to specific, more serious parking contraventions and, in those cases, penalties may be sent directly to the registered keeper’s address. For other parking contraventions, the penalty notice must be fixed to the vehicle. This has the advantage of allowing the driver to understand immediately when and how they have contravened and to record the exact circumstances should they wish to challenge the penalty.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 20/09/2022 12:01:43 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts

uin	47676
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2022 answer text <p>The public consultation on the proposed major timetable change on the East Coast Main Line, which proposed significant improvements to LNER services, received over 9000 responses and invaluable feedback and insight from local communities. In order to address thoroughly all the concerns raised, the major timetable upgrade is now targeted for 2023 at the earliest. The feedback received through the consultation has now been reviewed and work is continuing towards a plan for the implementation of revised proposals for a new, reliable timetable on the East Coast Main Line; one that more closely aligns with stakeholder feedback, ensures passengers experience the benefits of the £1.2billion invested in the East Coast upgrade and is appropriate for the rail industry’s financial position following the spending review. The Department will be able to share the outcome of that work once it completes later this year.</p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 08/09/2022 12:58:39 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts
