We want to encourage private sector investment to build and operate a self-sustaining public network that is affordable, reliable and accessible.<\/p>

<\/p>

Government funding and leadership, alongside private sector investment, has supported the installation of more than 21,000 public chargepoints, 2,100 of which are rapid \u2013 creating one of the largest networks in Europe. In August the Secretary of State announced that funding for this year\u2019s on street residential charging scheme, which offers grants to local authorities to support investment at a local level, would be doubled from £2.5 to £5 million. Highways England has also committed £15m to ensure there are chargepoints (rapid where possible) every 20 miles on 95% of the Strategic Road Network by 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

This is in addition to the £400m Chargepoint Infrastructure Investment Fund announced at the Autumn budget in 2017.<\/p>

We have made a further £300m available, which has been allocated to projects until 2024. If the programme continues to be delivered successfully, DfT will make submissions for further funding in due course.

Local stakeholders have championed the reinstatement of the Colne-Skipton railway line and work is currently progressing to assess the proposed scheme and determine if it can be made affordable, will attract sufficient traffic, and is part of the right long-term solution for trans-Pennine rail traffic.<\/p>

<\/p>

We expect to receive the results later this year to inform a decision as to whether the scheme should progress to the \u2018develop\u2019 stage of the Government\u2019s Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline. This is part of our new approach to rail enhancements to ensure we address the needs of passengers and freight, and that funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of schemes.<\/p>

As set out in the Government\u2019s recent drone consultation response on 7 January 2019, my Department is working with the Home Office and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy on product standards for drones. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has also published new product standards for drones which will become fully applicable by 2022. These include a mandatory requirement for drones to be fitted with geo-awareness software and being remotely identifiable before being placed on the market.<\/p>

At an international level, the International Organization for Standardization is currently developing standards for drone safety and operation in which the British Standards Institution (BSI) committee members represent the UK. It is vital that we balance maintaining the UK\u2019s world-leading position in aviation safety and security with supporting the development of this emerging industry.<\/p>

We are committed to improving accessibility at railway stations. However, many stations date from a time when the needs of disabled passengers were simply not considered.<\/p>

<\/p>

Therefore whenever infrastructure work is carried out at a station by the industry, it must comply with the relevant EU and UK accessibility standards. This includes major projects such as Crossrail, but also Network Rail\u2019s ongoing renewals programme. However, in recognition of the scale of the problem, and to increase the pace of delivery, the Access for All programme was launched to provide access improvements over and above those required to be delivered by the rail industry, targeting stations not due to have their access improved as part of other projects.<\/p>
