answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2024 answer text <p>As you will appreciate, most transport matters are devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. The UK Government’s Transport Ministers engaged with their counterparts when the Northern Ireland Executive was in place. In the absence of an Executive, officials have continued to liaise regularly with counterparts in the Northern Ireland Civil Service and Translink on the recommendations made by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill’s independent Union Connectivity Review. This resulted in the UK Government providing funding support for three rail connectivity studies in Northern Ireland. The Department for Transport also engaged regularly with the Northern Ireland Office at official and ministerial level to discuss UK connectivity matters.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 19/01/2024 13:34:49 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2023 answer text <p>The Union Connectivity Review was an independent review, led by Lord Peter Hendy of Richmond Hill. We agree that high quality data across all transport modes in the UK are vital for managing capacity, ensuring safety and future transport planning. We are considering the current scope of data collection with a view to expanding it where possible and beneficial. This will include improving collaborative working with the devolved administrations on data sharing.</p><p> </p><p>For example, improving the collection of UK-wide data was discussed at the Transport Inter-Ministerial Group in May. Ministers have asked officials from all administrations to conduct an audit of existing data sharing arrangements and look for areas of improvement and further collaboration.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 14/12/2023 13:58:37 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
