question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how they intend to meet the £652 million funding gap, identified by analysis from the Local Government Association published on 9 February, required to cover the total costs of the National Concessionary Travel Scheme for bus passengers.
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

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology is used only to detect and deter criminal activity rather than to enable the generation of parking fines.
tabling member printed	Baroness Brady
uin	HL15141
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government has prohibited the use of CCTV and ANPR for local authority on-street parking enforcement since 2015 under the Deregulation Act 2015 and the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2015. For reasons of child safety and congestion management, parking restrictions near schools, on red routes, in bus lanes, and at bus stand clearways are exempt from this ban. As part of its work to improve the safety of cycling, the Government intends to introduce another exemption that will enable the use of approved camera devices for enforcing parking restrictions in mandatory cycle lanes.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/04/2019 10:06:54 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to ensure that Highways England enforces the terms of the contract agreed with Connect Plus in respect of litter clearance; and how many times Highways England has imposed a financial penalty on that contractor since the contract was awarded.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL15159
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>Highways England conduct a monthly Environmental Audit inspection to ensure Connect Plus meet their contractual obligations in respect of litter.</p><p>Although there is no direct mechanism to apply financial penalties for failure to collect litter specifically, Connect Plus are monitored on their performance with respect to removing litter from the strategic road network. Failure to meet their contractual obligations can trigger various sanctions, which can range from increased reporting, additional monitoring to loss of entitlement to certain bonuses. In extreme cases, if the performance of a contractor persistently falls below the terms of the specific contractual arrangements across multiple aspects of performance, this could lead to contract termination through contractor default.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 23/04/2019 14:30:51 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

uin	HL15170
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is aiming to ensure that UK airspace remains interoperable with neighbouring EU airspace. 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
