answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2024 answer text <p>Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended by the UK National Screening Committees (UK NSC). This is because of the inaccuracy of the current best test, the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). A PSA-based screening programme could harm men, as some of them would be diagnosed with a cancer that would not have caused them problems during their life. This would lead to additional tests and treatments which can also have harmful side effects, for example incontinence of faeces and urine, and impotence.</p><p>The UK NSC is undertaking an evidence review for prostate cancer screening and plans to report within the UK NSC’s three-year work plan. The evidence review includes modelling the clinical cost effectiveness of several approaches to prostate cancer screening, including different potential ways of screening the whole population from 40 years of age onwards and targeted screening aimed at groups of people identified as being at higher-than-average risk, such as black men or men with a family history of cancer.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne grouped question UIN 6954 question first answered 11/10/2024 09:22:55 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/05/2022 answer text <p>In November 2021, the Transport Select Committee published its Third Report of Session 2021-22 following its inquiry into the rollout and safety of smart motorways. The Committee agreed that the Government was right to focus on upgrading the safety of All Lane Running (ALR) smart motorways rather than reinstating the hard shoulder, which the Committee recognised could put more drivers and passengers at risk of death or serious injury on our roads.</p><p> </p><p>Having carefully considered the Committee’s report, the Department is taking forward all its recommendations. This includes pausing the roll-out of ALR smart motorway schemes yet to commence construction until five years of safety data is available for ALR smart motorways introduced before 2020. We are continuing to act to make sure all existing ALR smart motorways are as safe as possible with over £900m being invested, including for the construction of additional emergency areas and the roll-out of Stopped Vehicle Detection technology across existing ALR motorways.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 31/05/2022 10:34:00 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

The Government published the final UK Air Quality Plan on 26 July which includes additional measures to improve air quality nationwide.</p><p> </p><p>The Government consulted on a draft Airports NPS between 2 February and 25 May this year and the consultation document was clear that further work was underway to update the evidence base, including revised aviation demand forecasts and the government’s final Air Quality Plan. The Secretary of State for Transport announced on 7 September that there is a need to conduct a short period of further consultation to allow this updated evidence to be taken into account.</p><p> </p><p>The draft Airports National Policy Statement sets out the Government’s view that, with a suitable package of policy and mitigation measures, the Heathrow Northwest Runway scheme would be capable of being delivered without impacting the UK’s compliance with air quality limit values. The government will make meeting air quality legal requirements a condition of planning approval.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 12/09/2017 13:05:32 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
