The coast-bound carriageway between junctions 8 and 9 of the M20 is currently operating as a three-lane motorway while the Operation Brock contraflow system is not active on this part of the motorway. The London-bound carriageway has two running lanes, operating with a 50mph speed limit.<\/p>

<\/p>

The metal barrier that is currently in place on the London-bound carriageway between junctions 8 and 9 of the M20 will remain under regular review over the coming months but is unlikely to be removed before the end of October. This is to allow for the option of deploying the contraflow at short notice during times of cross-Channel disruption, caused by bad weather or industrial action, for example.<\/p>

The Department has not historically collected information about the nature of work of members of staff on loan, transfer or secondment.<\/p>

Of the information that is available, as at 30th April 2019, there were 5 or fewer staff from the Department for Transport on active loan to the Department for Exiting the European Union who have since returned. However, the Department is unable to confirm the exact nature of work carried out.<\/p>

Due to the small number of instances, the exact figure is being withheld, as releasing this could lead to identification of individuals.<\/p>

To prepare for the UK to leave the EU, the Department has reviewed and reprioritised workforce plans. This includes identification and cessation of non-priority work where appropriate.

    The price of bioethanol is set by the global fuels market and a range of factors will influence this, including production and raw material costs and the relative price of fuels and other commodities.<\/p>

    In September the Government published its response to a consultation on proposed amendments to the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. It is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/renewable-transport-fuel-obligations-order-government-response<\/a>. The analysis of the costs and benefits of the proposals included in Annex A of that document identifies market price developments i.e. how renewable fuel prices change in relation to fossil fuel prices, as an area with some uncertainty. To address this uncertainty, the analysis considers the impact of our proposals under low, central and high projections of the price spreads between renewable fuels and fossil fuels.<\/p>
