question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord De Mauley on 14 May (WA 542), what is the actual annual average frequency of discharge of storm sewage of the upgraded Mogden works; whether it meets the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive; if not, what action is to be taken to ensure that it does; and what is the explanation for the number of such discharges between March and December 2013 compared with Thames Water’s statement made before the upgrade that "post upgrade the Mogden works would spill about once every two and a half years."
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL1221
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>It is not possible to provide the annual average frequency of discharge of storm sewage from the upgraded Mogden sewage treatment works (STW) as the upgrades only came into effect on 31 March 2013. A discharge from Mogden STW storm tanks has occurred on 54 days in the 12 months from 31 March 2013. This compares to an annual average of 95 spill days for the preceding 5 years. The period since 31 March 2013 has been exceptionally wet, causing additional spills. Despite this the storm discharges from Mogden STW have not led to a significant adverse impact on the quality of the river since the upgrades. The Environment Agency will continue to assess the performance of the upgrade to ensure it continues to comply with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. The basis on which Thames Water estimated that Mogden STW will spill about once every two and a half years is not known.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord De Mauley question first answered 30/07/2014 11:35:45 answering member 2202 label Biography information for Lord De Mauley

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the need for new diesel-powered passenger rolling stock, other than the bimodal intercity express trains, between now and 2020, and after 2020.
tabling member printed	Lord Greaves
uin	HL1222
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2014 answer text <p>The success of the railways today, with additional services, greater passenger demand and significant Government investment in electrification, means that there are some short term issues with the provision of diesel units. Within a few years, our extensive programme of electrification will allow the diesel trains that are currently used on those routes to be cascaded elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is keen for the market to lead on rolling stock procurement, and has not carried out an assessment of its own on the need for new diesel trains. However, in the February 2014 update of its Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy, the rail industry predicted that, &quot;Assuming that the current policy of a rolling electrification programme continues in CP6 [Control Period 6: 2019 – 2024] and remains affordable to the Government, the work to date suggests that no new diesel vehicles (or other self-powered vehicles) would be required to be built in either CP5 or CP6.&quot;</p><p> </p><p>However, this does not preclude bidders from including the provision of new diesel trains as part of future franchise competitions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 28/07/2014 11:38:48 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

tabling member printed	Lord Moonie
uin	HL1224
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2014 answer text <p>There are no specific figures available which estimate the savings in development costs due to the use of simulators. This lack of data is because the development programme was planned from the outset to include the use of synthetics. Consequently, all flight test activity will have been estimated on the basis of the Programme having successfully completed a phase of concept demonstrations and risk reduction using simulators.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 29/07/2014 11:09:23 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
