question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the reasons for the reduction in the Modal Shift Revenue Support grant for rail freight.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL5866
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2017 answer text <p>The reduction in funding for Mode Shift Revenue Support (MSRS) and the parallel Waterborne Freight Grant (WFG) scheme is as a result of 2015 Spending Review decisions to improve efficiency in the use of public expenditure. Since implementation of these reductions was due to begin in 2016/17, but delayed by a year to give industry time to adjust, they include the planned reductions for that year also.</p><p> </p><p>Following the final bid round of 2016/17, the maximum number of lorry journeys that MSRS support would help to remove from Britain’s roads and on to rail is 983,162 for that year. However, awards may not be delivered in full and the current year end forecast is for about 70,000 below that maximum.</p><p> </p><p>While there are some further bid rounds to come, which may increase the figures or alter what is covered by the two schemes, funding allocated at the first bid round for 2017/18 and 2018/19 will help to remove up to 796,854 and 776,497 lorry journeys respectively.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL5867 question first answered 16/03/2017 12:09:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL5866
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2015 answer text <p>There have been no general discussions between Her Majesty’s Government and Network Rail in relation to giving Network Rail additional compulsory purchase powers for the purposes mentioned. Her Majesty's Governmentand Network Rail from time to time discuss particular applications by Network Rail, under section 14 of the Railway Regulation Act 1842, in relation to obtaining temporary access to land neighbouring the railway, where this is needed for the purpose of certain safety works on the railway.</p><p> </p><p>Network Rail can also apply to Her Majesty's Government, under section 15 of that Act, for a revival of the compulsory purchase powers which would originally have applied under the enabling legislation for the relevant stretch of railway; again this would be where such acquisition is needed to be able to effect safety repairs and works. Each application by Network Rail under section 14 and 15 is considered on its specific facts and the safety issues arising.</p><p> </p><p>The powers of entry arising under section 14 of the 1842 Act were considered both by the Transport Resilience Review and the Powers of Entry Review under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Following on from these Her Majesty's Government expects to consult with Network Rail and other stakeholders over a code of practice in relation to the use of section 14.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 25/03/2015 13:48:49 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
