answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>In June 2018, the Government announced that the RAC Foundation, supported by £480,000 of Government funding, would lead the trial of an innovative new approach to road casualty investigation alongside police forces. As part of this initiative dedicated teams will be carrying out in-depth research in selected cases to get a better understanding of what is really causing collisions on our roads. These collisions will be analysed in 3 regions over 3 years and will look at collisions covering a range of modes of travel, including motorbikes. The Government will release a final report at the end of the project.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/01/2019 17:44:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The publication entitled <em>Facts on Motorcyclist Casualties</em> published in June 2015 provided information on the proportion of cars and light goods vehicles allocated the contributory factor ‘failed to look properly’ in accidents involving a motorcyclist casualty where a police officer attended the scene of the accident. These proportions for each year from 2013 to 2017 are presented in the table below.</p><p> </p><p>Since police officers do not always record a contributory factor when they attend a scene, we have also included data showing the proportion for those accidents where a contributory factor was recorded.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for how long lane closures will be in place on the M180 east of Scunthorpe; for what reason those lane closures have been introduced; and why work is not being carried out on a 24-hour basis to reduce the length of lane closures.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The current lane closures are scheduled to be lifted in early February this year. These will be followed by further lane closures on the eastbound carriageway until early March 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The lane closures are in place as Highways England are replacing the safety barrier at various sites along this section of the M180.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England have removed the existing safety barriers, and have erected temporary barriers in place to protect the now exposed structures. Lane closures must remain on a 24-hour basis because it would be unsafe for Highways England to remove the temporary barriers while works continue.</p><p> </p><p>These closures are necessary to cover various work locations and enable more activity to take place across the whole site, so as to minimise the programme’s total duration and therefore reduce the overall disruption. Work takes place throughout the day; the overnight closures also allow for the concrete used on the foundations and ends of the new barriers to set.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/01/2019 12:47:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
