answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department is undertaking a comprehensive and wide ranging programme of work to ensure we are prepared for numerous scenarios including, as a responsible Government, the UK leaving the EU without an agreement. The EU Commission has put forward a proposal on basic reciprocal market access for EU and UK hauliers which we have welcomed. If this was not secured then we are confident we would secure market access for hauliers through a combination of ECMT permits, bilateral agreements and unilateral arrangements. Such arrangements could also be used to supplement any EU-wide proposals on market access. We have also put in place plans on driver licensing, insurance, trailer registration and permit allocation to ensure UK hauliers can continue to operate in the event of a no deal.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 04/02/2019 17:01:10 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>All new rail vehicles are required to meet strict noise limits before they are permitted to enter into normal service. These are governed the Technical Standards for Interoperability (TSIs). Network Rail are also undertaking a number of activities during the current control period (CP5), including rail profile grinding, resilient track supports and noise barriers, which have helped mitigate noise impacts during normal service. During maintenance work, each renewal or upgrade project undertaken by Network Rail must be in line with the Government’s rail noise action plan. These strategic action plans estimate people’s exposure to noise from road, rail and aviation. These plans will provide guidance to those responsible for tackling the noise on how best to do so. In particular they are aimed at those areas worst affected by transport noise.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 30/10/2018 11:16:42 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone previous answer version 81197 answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
