Approximately £12m has been spent on remodelling bridges in Leicestershire as part of the Midland Main Line upgrade. These works have delivered benefits including extension of the life of the bridges, improved safety both at trackside and on highways above the bridges, improved access for maintenance and examination, and enhanced gauge clearance allowing larger freight trains to use the line.<\/p>

Pokesdown was not nominated for this funding as South Western Railway already have a commitment in their Franchise Agreement to install lifts to the footbridge linking the platforms. This is currently due to be complete in early 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

Stations were selected based on their annual footfall, weighted by the incidence of disability in the area.  We also took into account local factors such as proximity to a hospital or the availability of third party funding for the project.  We also chose some stations to ensure a fair geographical spread of projects across the country.<\/p>

The proposed height of station platforms above rail for dedicated HS2 train platforms has been designed to ensure level access for all passengers. It does not comply with the current EU Technical Specification for Interoperability regarding platform heights. However, the HS2 network does comply with the relevant EU (\u2018GC\u2019) loading gauge. No derogation has been applied for as this is not needed at this stage.

Greybull Capital is not itself a shareholder in Monarch Airlines but it does perform an advisory and management role for the principal shareholder, Petrol Jersey Limited. There is no formal legal mechanism we can use to oblige Greybull to contribute towards the cost of repatriating passengers.<\/p>

<\/p>

However Marc Meyohas, partner at Greybull, wrote to the Transport Select Committee acknowledging a moral obligation (if they make a profit) to contribute and help to defray the costs incurred by the Government in repatriating Monarch customers.<\/p>

<\/p>

Discussions with Greybull in relation to recovering the costs of the repatriation operation have been in writing. Ministers last wrote to Greybull on this matter on 5 December 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

The extent of any profit or loss from Greybull Capital and Petrol Jersey Limited\u2019s investment in Monarch Airlines will depend on the outcome of the administration process, which is not due to conclude until October 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

I refer to the Written Ministerial Statement made by the Secretary of State on 9 May 2019, which reported that the final cost to the taxpayer from the Monarch repatriation have been assessed to be £40.5m. This does not include any contribution from Greybull Capital or the principal shareholder, Petrol Jersey Limited. We do not expect any material change to the final cost to the taxpayer.<\/p>

An independent report of the impact of the Scottish limit reduction, led by the University of Glasgow, was published on 12 December 2018. The study found that lowering the drink drive limit was not associated with any reduction in total road traffic accident rates or serious and fatal road traffic accident rates.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are no current plans to lower the drink drive limit in England and Wales.
