	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Department and the rail industry worked together ahead of planned industrial action to ensure plans were in place to minimise disruption. This allowed freight and passenger services to remain operational where possible and included working with other Government Departments on mitigations for impacts on critical supply chains.</p><p> </p><p>A Statutory Instrument has now been laid, under the terms of which businesses will be able supply workers to replace striking workers. This will also allow trained staff with transferrable skills to move around the industry to cover for striking staff to keep the railways running. We are working at pace to see how any potential legislative change could be delivered, including looking at the introduction of Minimum Service Level legislation, which would provide a mechanism for a minimum level of train service during those times periods of strike action.</p><p> </p><p>On 30 June, the Secretary of State set out 22 measures the Government is taking to support the aviation industry, including to help recruit and train staff, ensure the delivery of a realistic summer schedule, minimise disruption, and support passengers when delays and cancellations are unavoidable.</p><p> </p><p>We have eased the burden on background checks carried out by the industry through changing the law to allow certain training to be undertaken while background checks are completed. We have helped speed up recruitment times by allowing HMRC employment history letters to be used as a suitable form of reference check. We are working with industry to ensure they give passengers the best support and will be launching a new Aviation Passenger Charter, a one-stop guide to help passengers understand their rights, responsibilities and what they can reasonably expect of the aviation industry when flying.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 04/07/2022 13:36:57 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

	tabling member constituency	Wycombe
	tabling member printed	Mr Steve Baker
	uin	129121
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2022 answer text <p>E10 has been the industry agreed standard for petrol since 2013, and the reference fuel against which new cars are tested for emissions and performance since 2016. The impact assessment published alongside the Motor Fuel (Composition and Content) and the Biofuel (Labelling) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2021, which introduced E10, estimates that the change from E5 unleaded petrol to E10 is expected to reduce CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions by around 0.7 to 0.8 megatonnes per year. Switching from E5 to E10 is understood to have a relatively small impact on fuel economy of around 1-2 % and this was factored into the impact assessment. There are many factors that influence fuel consumption, making the effect of E10 difficult to assess on the basis of anecdotal evidence or monitoring. The Regulations mandating E10 petrol across Great Britain came into force just last September and will be the subject of a regulatory review considering its impacts, conducted within five years.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 02/03/2022 11:23:19 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
