	uin	HL6934
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2016 answer text <p>Consideration of the case for alternative options to the M4 relief road south of Newport is a matter for the Welsh Government. However, we are working closely with the Welsh Government on the development of the next Rail Investment Strategy to ensure that relevant Welsh priorities for rail investment in Control Period 6 (2019-2024) are reflected. No decision on any major investment in Wales is made without taking into account the views of the Welsh Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Welsh Government will gain much greater control over the development of rail services in Wales as a result of the agreement reached between the two Governments in November 2014 to devolve executive franchising rail functions in Wales, so that the Welsh Government can lead on the procurement of the next Wales and Borders franchise from 2018. Subject to agreement on final terms, I would expect the Welsh Government to be leading on the specification of future service levels in Wales in the next franchise.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/03/2016 12:22:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	uin	HL6944
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government is exploring a number of options to address the threat from the misuse of laser pens. This is a matter we take very seriously, particularly in light of recent events that have been reported.</p><p> </p><p>There is specific legislation prohibiting the use of laser pens against aircraft. Under the Air Navigation Order (2009), it is an offence to direct or shine any light at any aircraft in flight so as to dazzle or distract the pilot of the aircraft. Anyone found guilty of this offence could be liable to a fine, up to a maximum of £2,500.</p><p> </p><p>It is also an offence to “recklessly or negligently act in a manner to endanger an aircraft, or any person in an aircraft”. Anyone found guilty of this offence could be liable to a fine, up to 5 years imprisonment, or both.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/03/2016 13:51:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2016 answer text <p>Highways England’s forthcoming work on the next iteration of their Route Strategies is the means of assessing pressures and needs and generating proposals across the entire strategic road network, including the A64. The Route Strategies will inform the preparation of the next Road Investment Strategy. Any specific proposals that require investment will of course need to be underpinned by a strong and clear business case.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/03/2016 11:45:18 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
