question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the (a) cost and (b) effect on the environment of the development of bi-modal trains?
tabling member constituency	Nottingham North
tabling member printed	Alex Norris
uin	116533
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>Rolling Stock is procured through a competitive process to achieve best value for money. The Government has been clear that bi-modes are likely to be more expensive than electric only trains, but do provide valuable flexibility. New diesels deliver an overall better environmental performance than existing diesel trains because they are subject to the latest emission standards but also offer the flexibility to operate in electric mode where there are electric wires.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 06/12/2017 14:49:18 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

uin	116150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>Taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) services must be accessible to those who rely upon them, and disability awareness training can be effective in equipping drivers with the skills and knowledge to provide all passengers with the assistance they require. The Department is currently considering the responses to the consultation on the draft Accessibility Action Plan which will inform the updated Best Practice Guidance for taxi and PHV licensing authorities. It is the Department’s expectation that the guidance will include a recommendation that authorities should use their existing powers to require prospective drivers to complete disability awareness and equality training.</p><p>There are however no existing powers to give this guidance statutory status.</p><p> </p><p>I announced in a Westminster Hall debate that I would be setting up a working group to consider current issues concerning taxi and PHV licensing. That group will report its findings to me in the new year.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 06/12/2017 17:41:20 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>We work closely with the Department for Education on a wide range of issues including children’s and young person’s sport. This includes the Ministerial School Sport Board, which I attend along with the Minister of State for Children and Families and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Primary Care. Through the primary PE and sport premium, the government has invested over £600m of ring-fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport since 2013. By using revenue from the soft drinks industry levy, we have doubled the premium funding from £160m to £320m a year. This funding is providing directly to schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 27/11/2017 15:19:56 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

tabling member constituency	Nottingham North
tabling member printed	Alex Norris
uin	113091
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>Government’s strategy ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for An Active Nation’ and Sport England’s strategy ‘Towards an Active Nation’ highlight the importance of focusing on groups that are particularly unlikely to take part in sport and physical activity, such as women and girls and some Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. It places a clear emphasis on putting the customer first and there are some innovative programmes to encourage female and BAME participation in sport, such as the This Girl Can Swim campaign.</p><p> </p><p>But as the Government’s sport strategy makes clear, participation is not just about playing sport, and the &quot;Sports Governance Code&quot;, launched in October 2016, seeks to ensure the very highest standards of governance across all sport bodies that receive public money, including in terms of diversity, and aims to help the sport sector to be more inclusive and welcoming to all. If sports bodies do not adhere to the code and cannot demonstrate full commitment to becoming compliant with its requirements they will not be eligible to receive public funding.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 27/11/2017 16:58:12 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
