The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is responsible for the enforcement of unlicensed vehicles and is able to clamp or remove an unlicensed vehicle if it is seen on a public road.<\/p>

<\/p>

A vehicle that is causing an obstruction, is likely to cause damage or is broken down or abandoned without lawful authority can be dealt with by the police as they have the necessary powers to remove them. Local authorities can also remove abandoned, dangerous and unsafely parked vehicles using powers contained in the Cleaner Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2006. Both the police and local authorities can take action against those responsible for vehicles that are parked dangerously.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4116", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Northampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Michael Ellis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-10T11:44:26.95Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cars: Sales"} , "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 assessment he has made of the adequacy of DVLA powers to take enforcement action against car dealerships that are responsible for dangerously and unsafely parked cars.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1491", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kerry McCarthy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kerry McCarthy"} ], "uin" : "260582"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1129766", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1129766/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Highways England\u2019s Air Quality Strategy published in August 2017, sets out the company\u2019s actions to improve air quality on the strategic road network. This supports the Government\u2019s Air Quality Plan for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in UK (2017), which established the Government\u2019s commitment to improve air quality on the Strategic Road Network (SRN).<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England\u2019s Delivery Plan 2018-2019, published in July 2018, provides an update on progress and this year\u2019s Delivery Plan with a further update will be published this summer.<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England have agreed with the Department for Transport a programme of work to assess and deliver improvements in air quality on the SRN, with a focus on 101 SRN road links which have been identified by Government\u2019s Pollution Climate Mapping (PCM) model as exceeding NO2 limit values.<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England are analysing these road links through their programme of work to identify what measures can be implemented to deliver compliance as quickly as possible. The total number of roads affected will be lower, as some roads have more than one link in exceedance along the whole route.<\/p>

On 31 March 2014, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) employed 4,951 full time equivalent staff compared to 5332 on 31 March 2019. The increase is largely attributable to the DVLA bringing its IT services in-house in 2015. The DVLA has also increased the number of staff working in its Drivers Medical section to cater for increases in medical notifications.<\/p>

Specific information on average processing times for customers in Northern Ireland is not readily available. The information could only be retrieved at disproportionate cost as it would require the interrogation of all vehicle-related transactions to identify those specific to Northern Ireland customers.<\/p>

We recognise that people want to take advantage of the opportunities electric scooters can offer. We are committed to encouraging innovation in transport as well as improving road safety, but new modes of transport must be safe and secure by design. Whilst e-scooters can be used on private property (with the landowner\u2019s permission), in general it is currently illegal to ride them on the road. This includes on cycle lanes, or tracks, or on the pavement.<\/p>

The Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy, published on 19 March 2019 includes a Regulatory Review to address the challenges of ensuring our transport infrastructure and regulation are fit for the future. One strand of this will look at options for enabling micromobility devices, and a consultation will be issued in due course.<\/p>

The Government is investing over £13 billion in transport in the North between 2015 and 2020 as part of the Northern Powerhouse strategy. This comprises a range of transport improvements including major investments in the Strategic Road Network (SRN), such as the introduction of Smart Motorways, as well as major schemes on the local road network, significant investment in new rolling stock and the rail network and numerous smaller schemes funded through the Local Growth Fund and the Department\u2019s Highways Maintenance and Integrated Transport block funding. The investment has been allocated through funding mechanisms such as the Roads Investment Strategy, rail investment programmes for Control Period 6, and block funding allocations. It is not possible to provide annual profiles as some funding is allocated on a scheme basis rather than by year.<\/p>

Aviation in the UK operates in the private sector and it is for airlines to determine which routes they should operate. However, the Aviation 2050 consultation acknowledges the benefits regional airports and connectivity can bring to the regions and seeks views on what further actions government could take to enhance and support these connections. The consultation closes on 20 June.<\/p>

<\/p>

Where domestic routes have previously been squeezed out of Heathrow over time, expansion of the airport will provide an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen existing domestic connections and deliver new ones.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Airports National Policy Statement sets a clear expectation that an additional runway at Heathrow will deliver at least 14 domestic routes. We expect many of these connections will be commercially viable. This will ensure that regions are increasingly well connected to the capital and the UK\u2019s biggest airport, supporting new business, tourism and cultural links across the globe.<\/p>
