This will include options, costs and a delivery timetable for a HS3 east west rail connection. An interim report will be produced next March.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1557", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Kramer"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Kramer"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-11-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-11-24T14:43:48.117Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-11-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Railways: North of England"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they yet have any concrete plans for the development of HS3.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2608", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Earl of Glasgow"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Earl of Glasgow"} ], "uin" : "HL2985"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/156593", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/156593/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government continues to fully support the Northern Ireland Justice Minister, who is leading discussions with the parties, to try to secure full operating powers for the National Crime Agency in Northern Ireland. Home Office Ministers have regular discussions with Ministerial colleagues and others. As was the case with previous administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings.
The Director General of the National Crime Agency has also given his full support to these negotiations and has met with some of the political partiesand appeared before the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
We are committed to resolving this so that the people and communities of Northern Ireland can benefit from the full range of the National Crime Agency\u2019s capabilities, like the rest of the United Kingdom.<\/p>
