However, given that the vast majority, if not all, of the potential wrong doing is likely to have occurred at Volkswagen AG in Germany, it is for the German Government in the first place to take action. The Department will assess the prospects of taking action in the UK, once the German investigation is complete and based on any available evidence.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/06/2019 15:32:34 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The upcoming UK Unmanned Aircraft Operator Registration and Education Scheme is not directly comparable with the French registration scheme as it does not currently have an education or testing element. The proposed charge for the UK scheme balances keeping the charge for registration as low as possible with ensuring that the scheme funds itself and does not impose undue burden on the state or the taxpayer. The annual renewal period proposed under the UK scheme will be regularly reviewed by the Civil Aviation Authority to ensure it remains fit for purpose.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/06/2019 10:51:33 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

This comprises a range of transport improvements including major investments in the Strategic Road Network (SRN), such as the introduction of Smart Motorways, as well as major schemes on the local road network, significant investment in new rolling stock and the rail network and numerous smaller schemes funded through the Local Growth Fund and the Department’s Highways Maintenance and Integrated Transport block funding. The investment has been allocated through funding mechanisms such as the Roads Investment Strategy, rail investment programmes for Control Period 6, and block funding allocations. It is not possible to provide annual profiles as some funding is allocated on a scheme basis rather than by year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 10/06/2019 11:50:49 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
