uin	HL418
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The Companion to the Standing Orders and Guide to the Proceedings of the House of Lords states that a private notice question (PNQ) gives members of the House the opportunity to raise urgent matters on any sitting day. The Lord Speaker, after consultation, considers whether the question is of sufficient urgency and importance to justify an immediate reply. The Procedure Committee’s 2nd Report of Session 2009-10 (HL Paper 51), recommended that the Lord Speaker’s decision, in respect of the admissibility of PNQs, be considered final. The House agreed this report on 16 March 2010.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 05/11/2019 13:10:10 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Transport is currently considering responses to a recent consultation on amending street works permit conditions relating to portable traffic signals and pavement working. We are encouraging the minority of authorities that have not yet moved to a permit scheme to do so as these are a more effective way of planning and managing street works. In 2018, the Government announced that authorities outside London and Kent, where pioneer schemes already existed, would also now have the option of operating a street works lane rental scheme to manage the impact of works on their busiest roads at busy times.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has invested £10m in Street Manager, a new digital system for planning and coordinating street works, which will be used nationwide from April 2020. The Department is currently updating the technical guidance document, “Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways”, to bring it up to date and support innovation in the sector. Finally, the Department is starting to consider improvements to the street works inspection regime.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 31/10/2019 13:43:52 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
