uin	255309
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>The original safety assessment of all lane running included the safety of a vehicle stopping in a running lane during peak and off-peak periods. It also identified a range of measures, such as the provision of traffic management technology and emergency areas, designed to ensure overall all lane running safety levels would be at least as safe as those of a traditional motorway with a hard shoulder.</p><p> </p><p>The smart motorway schemes between junctions J5-7 and 23-27 of the M25 were the first to be designed to the all lane running standard, and were completed in 2014. The performance of both schemes was monitored and reports published after one, two and three years of operation which included an assessment of safety and performance data.</p><p> </p><p>M25 3 year evaluation reports:</p><p> </p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-5-to-7-third-year-evaluation-report</p><p> </p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-23-to-27-third-year-evaluation-report</p><p> </p><p>The review shows that the all lane running sections are performing well and in line with expectations; successfully increasing capacity and improving journeys for motorists. These reviews found that the M25 schemes delivered an overall 27% safety improvement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/05/2019 10:47:00 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2019 answer text <p>The Drone Operator Registration Scheme will apply from November 2019 and is one of several new measures to address the safety and security challenges that unmanned aircraft pose. It will help law enforcement agencies to tackle the misuse of such aircraft effectively, alongside new Police powers, which will be introduced in the upcoming Drones Bill.</p><p> </p><p>In response to the Department’s 2018 consultation on unmanned aircraft, the Government stated that any alternative approach for model flyers must be achieved without imposing undue burden on the state and the taxpayer, whilst also being efficient and enforceable, without compromising the integrity of the policy. Any blanket exemption from registration and competency tests for aero modellers, or having the associations register their members into the registration scheme, will not meet these criteria.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 24/05/2019 09:23:16 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

We will bring forward legislation when Parliamentary time permits.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 23/05/2019 13:25:44 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

uin	255289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>In December 2018, the Government published a green paper consultation on its new aviation strategy, Aviation 2050. The strategy proposes a comprehensive approach to tackling aviation’s carbon emissions, taking into account the UK’s domestic and international obligations to ensure that aviation contributes its fair share to action on climate change. The white paper will be published later this year and will take into account recent advice from the Committee on Climate Change.</p><p> </p><p>The Government supports a range of measures to achieve its 2050 vision of reducing aviation carbon emissions, including efficiency improvements in technology, operations and air traffic management, use of renewable fuels and market-based measures.</p><p> </p><p>Recently, the Government extended eligibility for rewards under the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) to aviation fuels, and is making available up to £20 million of matched capital funding to projects that will produce low carbon waste-based fuels to be used for aviation and Heavy Goods Vehicles through the Future Fuels for Flight and Freight Competition (F4C).</p><p> </p><p>The UK was instrumental in reaching agreement on the global carbon offsetting measure for aviation (CORSIA) in 2016 and continues to be actively involved in negotiating for a scheme that is environmentally effective and robust. The green paper also states that the UK will encourage ICAO to agree a long term emissions reduction goal at its 41st Assembly in 2022.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/05/2019 10:52:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
