question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 27 November (HL339), why the steel sidebars on the disability buggies at Euston station were replaced in the last two weeks; what was the cost of installing the original ones and replacing them with the new ones; and who was responsible for making the decision on both sets of bars.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL585
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2023 answer text <p>Following an incident involving a passenger on one of the buggies at Euston Station, Network Rail undertook a safety investigation. One of the outputs from the investigation was to ensure safety bars were present on all buggies. Network Rail found that the design of the bars caused issues for some passengers getting on and off the buggies. Therefore, Network Rail replaced them with the newly designed safety bars which allows more of the bar to be pushed back into its housing, resulting in more space for passengers to get on and off.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of installing the original bars and then replacing them with the new bars was £2617.20 excluding VAT. The decision for the bars to be replaced was made by the Route’s Head of Stations.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 06/12/2023 12:49:33 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2023 answer text <p>The consultation on when to end the sale of new non-zero emission L-category vehicles (including mopeds and motorcycles) was open to responses from 14 July to 21 September 2022 and was supported by a thorough programme of engagement with stakeholders. The Department is now analysing the responses and will bring forward the Government’s response in due course.</p><p>Government policies are already in place to support the transition, such as the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant. The Government also made up to £350,000 of funding available for research and development projects to grow the zero-emission motorcycle supply chain in the UK. However, the Government appreciates that there are technology and infrastructure considerations for these vehicles as they transition and will continue to work with the sector to support and examine how to best overcome demand side challenges, including the infrastructure needs of zero emission L-category vehicles.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 05/12/2023 12:47:04 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
