question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 9 March (HL5562), whether the journey time of four hours and 17 minutes for the Pendolino to Glasgow allows for the same "minor line speed improvements on the northern West Coast Main Line" as for the four hour journey time quoted for Phase 1 non-tilt.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL5994
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>The minor line speed improvements on the West Coast Main Line (WCML), mainly north of Preston, would increase the maximum permissible speed for non-tilting rolling stock to towards the maximum permissible speed for tilting rolling stock. These improvements would not therefore have any effect on the journey time of four hours and seventeen minutes for Pendolino services between London and Glasgow.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/03/2017 11:50:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL6007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2017 answer text <p>The EU drivers’ hours regulations allow HGV drivers to take a daily rest or a reduced weekly rest in their vehicle, provided the vehicle is stationary and is fitted with suitable sleeping facilities. However, the regulations do not allow a regular weekly rest period of 45 hours to be taken in the vehicle. Subject to stakeholder views, the Driver and Vehicle Standard Agency will be enforcing this through a £300 fixed penalty notice/financial penalty deposit.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/03/2017 11:14:47 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
