Highways England has one project regarding \u201cAutomated Cone Laying\u201d which seeks to develop a first generation fully automated cone laying vehicle which requires no personnel on the back of the vehicle. £1.133m is forecast to be spent in 2019/20 from a total approved allocation for the project of £1.27m. There is a break point at the end of this financial year after completion of live testing of the automated cone laying vehicles. No funding was spent in previous financial years on automated traffic cone machines.<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Transport does not regulate the rail industry. Regulation is carried out by the independent Office of Rail and Road (ORR).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Transport holds TOCs to account through the contractual terms of their franchise agreements. These include obligations around finance, operational performance, delivery of passenger benefits, and transparency. If a TOC does not meet these (or any other) obligations the SoS acts to remedy the situation in accordance with the enforcement provisions in the contract and in consideration of the SoS\u2019s Statutory Duties given in the attached Public Enforcement Policy.<\/p>

We want the transition to 2040 to be consumer and market-led, supported by the measures set out in the Road to Zero strategy. The Government\u2019s ambition is to have one of the best infrastructure networks in the world for electric vehicles, and we want chargepoints to be accessible, reliable, affordable and secure.<\/p>

<\/p>

We want to encourage and leverage private sector investment to build and operate a self-sustaining public network supported by the right policy framework. Government funding and leadership, alongside private sector investment, has supported the installation of more than 20,000 public chargepoints. This includes 2,000 rapid chargepoints, one of the largest rapid networks in Europe. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles is going further and is working with industry to set out a vision by Autumn 2019, for a core infrastructure network of rapid and high powered chargepoints across England\u2019s key road network.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s grant schemes and the £400m public-private Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund will also see thousands more chargepoints installed across the UK. Highways England has committed £15m to ensure there is a rapid chargepoint (where possible) every 20 miles on 95% of the Strategic Road Network by 2020, and the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act gives Government powers to ensure appropriate provision of chargepoints at motorway service areas and large fuel retailers if needed.<\/p>

The UK and EU have both put in place measures to ensure that flights can continue in any EU Exit scenario. In a no deal scenario, the EU\u2019s adopted Regulation on connectivity gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU from the day of exit until a proposed date of October 2020, allowing time to progress longer-term arrangements.

We are developing contingency plans for the replacement of the current franchise with either a new short-term management contract with Northern or the Operator of Last Resort (OLR). If we find the operator to be in default of its current contract and that default was material and not capable of remedy, we have the right to terminate the current franchise. If such a right is exercised, a decision on next steps will be based on a full and rigorous analysis into what delivers the best outcomes for passengers and taxpayers and what would best enable the implementation of the forthcoming recommendations of the Williams Review.<\/p>
