It remains a legal requirement for anyone on UK roads to have a valid license and it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they have appropriate insurance to drive on UK roads.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2023 answer text <p>The industry performance regime allows that all the costs arising from an individual incident can typically only be calculated some time – which can be weeks – after the incident. The performance payments between train operators and Network Rail (accounting for lost revenue and compensation) are made every four weeks and are aggregated, based on average lateness for the previous four-week period. The way the performance regime works means that Network Rail do not calculate payments for individual incidents.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 05/06/2023 12:00:32 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
