The Government takes the environmental implications of exploiting high carbon intensity crudes very seriously and fully supports the aim of the Fuel Quality Directive to reduce carbon emissions. We also believe that the accounting methodology must be proportionate in the burden placed on suppliers. The European Commission's proposals for a greenhouse gas intensity accounting methodology to implement Article 7a failed to receive agreement in 2012, and we await the publication of a revised proposal and impact assessment.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department consulted on measures to implement Article 7(a \u2013e) of the Directive between March and June 2011. The core costs envisaged in the impact assessment relate to putting in place a 6% greenhouse gas emissions savings target to 2020, the supply of biofuels and other compliance measures required to achieve these reductions. The costs of delivering such measures are subject to a very high degree of uncertainty given that EU negotiations on key elements for implementing the Directive have not yet concluded. Based on a range of provisional assumptions, it was estimated that, relative to the cost of policy currently in place, the impact in 2020 would be an increase of 0.5 pence per litre on petrol and 2.5 pence per litre on road diesel. A full analysis is presented in the impact assessment published on 10 March 2011 which can be found at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-proposals-to-implement-articles-7a-to-7e-of-the-eu-fuel-quality-directive-fqd-directive-98-70-ec-as-amended-by-2009-30-ec-requiring-suppliers-to-reduce-the-lifecycle-greenshouse-gas-intensity-of-transport-fuels-and-introducing-sustaina<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK has not yet set a trajectory for biofuel supply to meet the 6% greenhouse gas emissions savings target required in 2020. Any associated increase in targets for the supply of biofuel and other compliance measures would be the subject of a further consultation and a revised impact assessment which would carefully consider the impact on the motorist and the environment.<\/p>

The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (2002) prescribes a traffic sign for indicating the distance ahead to a named motorway service and which permits the price per litre of unleaded petrol to be displayed. The Government also announced in October 2013 that it would trial the display of comparative fuel prices on traffic signs along a motorway route to better inform road users and to encourage competition.

By 2015 the Access for All programme will have spent over £400m providing accessible routes at more than 150 stations since its launch in 2006. An additional £100m, to fund a further 42 projects up to 2019, was allocated in April 2014. More than 1,100 stations have also benefitted from smaller scale access improvements under the programme. Many of these projects have been at rural stations and are over and above accessibility improvements delivered as part of other station infrastructure works.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1585", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Hammond"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wimbledon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Hammond"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-14T15:55:38.0568278Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Railway Stations: Disability"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure disabled rail users can access all platforms at rural stations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1547", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Benyon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newbury"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Benyon"} ], "uin" : "204417"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/76514", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/76514/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

A key element of the Government's strategy for the railways is improving connectivity to support economic growth - facilitating business, commuting and leisure journeys.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Projects and programmes that are set to improve connectivity between the north of England and Scotland by increasing capacity, reducing journey times, and/or improving performance or train frequencies include:<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(a)Electrification in the North West of England \u2013 ten brand new four-coach electric trains commenced operation on the route between Manchester Airport and Edinburgh/Glasgow in May this year;<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(b)The refranchising programme \u2013 including a recent Direct Award to Virgin West Coast Trains and award of the next InterCity East Coast franchise later this year and the next TransPennine Express franchise in 2015;<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(c)HS2 \u2013 as announced in November last year, the Department is undertaking a study in collaboration with the Scottish Government to identify the broad options available to make further capacity and journey time improvements between northern England and Scotland.<\/p>

Since July 2009 there have been 61 accidents investigated by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in the UK involving public transport aircraft. Of these around 70 per cent were as a result of operational causal factors (human factors) and around 30 per cent were as a result of technical causal factors. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch does not attribute any causes to pilot error as they are explicitly required not to apportion blame or liability.<\/p>
