question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of (a) the trials led by HyDeploy to convert the UK’s domestic gas grid to hydrogen and (b) how those trials can be used to support the development and implementation of the use of hydrogen in transport.
tabling member constituency	Redcar

uin	234202
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>HyDeploy is funded under Ofgem’s Gas Network Innovation Competition and is being delivered by the HyDeploy consortium, led by Cadent and Northern Gas Networks. Officials are following the progress of the project closely and will review the project when it finishes in 2020. More broadly, the Government is exploring hydrogen’s potential to deliver against its clean growth goals across the energy system and the wider economy. Specifically, in the case of transport, the approach has been to support the market in its early stages, by funding the deployment of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles with the appropriate hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/03/2019 12:23:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	234074
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
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
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

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
