answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2017 answer text <p>Assisted driving technologies such as automated emergency braking are already reflected in lower premiums for those vehicles which have them installed. Fully automated vehicles could help further to reduce collisions and accidents on our roads, and we need to make sure we have the right insurance framework in place to facilitate the introduction of new technologies on our roads. That is why we have just introduced the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill which will include measures to allow for insurance of automated vehicles, and we will continue to work with the insurance industry to ensure that products meet the needs of customers, insurers and the automotive industry.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 27/02/2017 14:36:26 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	64563
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>The 2013 Aviation Policy Framework (APF) states that “the UK Government wants to see the best use of existing capacity at all UK airports&quot;. The UK’s airports are private entities operating in a competitive, commercial environment, and it is therefore for individual airport operators to propose and develop capacity expansion plans. In this regard the Government welcomes the ambition of airports across the country to respond to local and regional demand by investing in their infrastructure to enable services to more destinations, and better facilities and choice for their passengers.</p><p> </p><p>This year we have begun the process of developing a new strategy for UK aviation which will build on its success. The new strategy will set the framework for how the industry can grow sustainably.</p><p> </p><p>This will be an ambitious, ongoing programme of work which has already begun to explore where Government can, and should, make a difference. We will be consulting widely, both with the industry and with consumers throughout 2017, starting in the spring. This will maintain momentum and set the rhythm for aviation policy in the lead up to publication of an Aviation Strategy White Paper in 2018.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 28/02/2017 11:56:47 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
