We are grateful for the work done by the Road Safety Foundation and we will consider its findings and take action as needed.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 13 June 2018, we published details of funding to improve 50 of England\u2019s most dangerous A roads; many of these projects are now underway.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 19 July this year, as part of the Road Safety Statement, we announced a Rural Roads Working Group to consider road safety issues specific to rural roads.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department will continue to work closely with the Safer Roads Foundation to identify further opportunities to improve road safety.<\/p>"}

The UK is a strong supporter of action to improve the international standards for ship recycling.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Hong Kong Convention is not expected to enter into force internationally in the near term, so the UK alongside other states, has implemented a Europe wide regime that seeks to immediately improve standards in ship recycling.<\/p>
<\/p>
The EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 \u2013 which will be retained in UK law after we leave the EU \u2013 entered into force on 1 January 2019. It establishes a list of acceptable yards for ship recycling, and creates controls on ships flagged to, or calling at, the UK that are intended for recycling.<\/p>
<\/p>
The deadline for States to become a signatory to the Hong Kong Convention passed in August 2010. The Government\u2019s current focus is on the effective implementation of the European Ship Recycling regime, but we will shortly turn to the implementation of the Convention, with a target of ratification in the next five years as set out in our strategy, \u2018Maritime 2050: navigating the future\u2019.<\/p>

Decisions on how best to co-ordinate bus and rail services are best tackled locally. The needs of all public transport users must be taken into account when considering how to manage the different public transport networks. Changes at one station or location may benefit passengers there but may be a disadvantage to passengers further along the route.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department is currently in the process of building the Bus Open Data Digital Service which will serve as a platform for bus operators to provide their route, timetable, location, and fares data. This data can then be used by application developers to build products and services to help passengers plan their journeys, including onward journeys from railway stations.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Williams Rail Review is looking at how strategic planning can be improved, including at the local level, so train services and stations can be integrated with local bus services and cycling routes.<\/p>

The Bus Services Act 2017 provides the tools local authorities need such as Enhanced Partnerships and Franchising to improve local bus services and increase passenger numbers. Our forthcoming Bus Open Data Digital Service will transform the experience for passengers by making it easier for them to work out the best options available.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has committed to provide £150 million of funding to support the delivery of smart and integrated ticketing across local transport and rail services in the north. Transport for the North, working closely with my Department, is in the final stages of procuring a digital platform that would make data on fares available online.<\/p>
The Government has introduced a requirement for new franchises to introduce \u2018one-click\u2019 automated Delay Repay compensation, to make it easier for passengers to claim compensation when they have suffered delays.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also rolled out smart ticketing on rail - smart tickets are now accepted at rail stations across almost all of the network, with all franchised operators offering smart cards and/or barcode ticketing.<\/p>
We now want to ensure that across regional and urban commuter areas, smart ticketing can deliver the kind of pay-as-you-go structure that is used in London and make journeys easier.<\/p>

Legislation relating to the display of registration numbers and number plates already exists and enforcement is an operational matter for the police. Successful prosecution depends on the police sighting the vehicle on the public highway and establishing that an offence has been committed. Number plate offences are also included in the Home Office\u2019s fixed penalty system. This provides the police with a practical and effective means of enforcement. The police can also remove any vehicle that is causing an obstruction, is likely to cause danger or is broken down or abandoned without lawful authority.<\/p>
<\/p>
Local authorities have legislative powers to fine garages for leaving two or more vehicles advertised for sale on the road.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is responsible for enforcement against unlicensed vehicles and has legislative powers to clamp or remove such vehicles from public roads.<\/p>
