question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of lamp columns on the M1 between junction 1 and junction 10 are out of light, how often lamp columns on motorways are inspected for such issues, and within what period of time they expect defective lamp columns on motorways to be repaired.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL579
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2023 answer text <p>There are currently 11% of lighting columns out of order on the M1 between Junctions 1- 6A and, 30.7% between Junctions 6A -10. Lighting columns are inspected every 28 days, and the repair of any faults varies depending on the nature and priority of the fault(s) in question. A typical simple fault will in most cases be repaired within 14 days.</p><p>The lighting outages between M1 junctions 6a and 10 are the consequence of underground cable faults. Testing work is planned to take place in the next financial year, 2024-25, and will assess the condition of the cable network so that repairs can be prioritised alongside other asset needs.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 11/12/2023 14:57:38 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 27 November (HL339), why the steel sidebars on the disability buggies at Euston station were replaced in the last two weeks; what was the cost of installing the original ones and replacing them with the new ones; and who was responsible for making the decision on both sets of bars.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL585
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2023 answer text <p>Following an incident involving a passenger on one of the buggies at Euston Station, Network Rail undertook a safety investigation. One of the outputs from the investigation was to ensure safety bars were present on all buggies. Network Rail found that the design of the bars caused issues for some passengers getting on and off the buggies. Therefore, Network Rail replaced them with the newly designed safety bars which allows more of the bar to be pushed back into its housing, resulting in more space for passengers to get on and off.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of installing the original bars and then replacing them with the new bars was £2617.20 excluding VAT. The decision for the bars to be replaced was made by the Route’s Head of Stations.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 06/12/2023 12:49:33 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
