Since 2010 the Department\u2019s processes for commissioning research from external organisations have been strengthened. All research proposals must meet a set of criteria agreed with Ministers before they can go to tender. These are:<\/p>

  1. Is the project endorsed by Ministers or senior officials or is the proposal something the Department needs to or is reasonably expected to do?<\/li>
  2. Does the project need to be commissioned now or can the work be deferred to a later date?<\/li>
  3. What is the justification for this work?<\/li>
  4. Is the project value for money and is the Department\u2019s share of the cost reasonable?<\/li><\/ol>

    <\/p>

    Ministers scrutinise prospective research proposals at an early stage which allows them to influence the research proposal and ensure external commissions meet the Department\u2019s priorities and provide value for money.

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    Fully-developed research proposals are scrutinised by the Department\u2019s Research Gateway panel \u2013 which comprises the Heads of Analytical Profession and senior representatives from Finance and Procurement. This panel reviews the proposed research methodologies, costs and procurement strategy to ensure these are necessary and the commission will deliver robust results at reasonable cost to the tax-payer.

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    Project officers are challenged by the panel to justify the need for the work, the proposed cost and the expected outputs. The panel routinely encourages the use of innovative research methods to drive costs down. Opportunities for co-funding are routinely investigated before research contracts are procured.

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    Following approval by the Research Gateway, research proposals are then sent to Ministers for final approval to proceed to procurement. This offers Ministers a further opportunity to ensure that external research commissions are meeting their criteria to deliver robust and cost-effective results.

    Defra uses both monitoring and modelling to assess air quality in the UK. Measurement data is updated hourly on our website at:<\/p>

    http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk<\/a> for the 142 automatic monitoring sites across the UK.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    While Defra does not monitor air pollution in central and eastern Europe, the UK air quality forecast provided by the Met Office takes account of European emissions and forecast weather conditions.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    Defra also operates a network that measures particle numbers, size and composition, providing additional information about sources of particulate pollution. Information is available at: http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/networks/network-info?view=particle<\/a>.<\/p>

    Embarkation controls were abolished partially in 1994 and completely in 1998, as the paper-based checks were deemed outdated and checks were not carried outon all modes of transport.

    There have been considerable technological advances since the 1990s. Moreover, there are expanding and differing requirements and challenges for border services in the modern world. The Government\u2019s commitment to introduce exit checks takes full account of these developments.

    The new approach will make effective use of electronic systems that are able to support technology-based checks on those leaving the UK and produce more accurate and increasingly valuable information for immigration and border security purposes.<\/p>

    On the occasions when the overnight work requires a full carriageway closure, such as gantry erections and bridge deck waterproofing, the carriageway is closed from 20:00 on the night of the closure until 06:00 at the latest the following morning. Full carriageway closures are advertised two weeks in advance on the Highways Agency website, through local press notices and on motorway variable message signs in the vicinity of the closure.<\/p>
