question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what role strategic rail freight interchanges will play in delivering (1) the Clean Air Strategy's objectives, and (2) national modal shift targets from road to rail.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL12131
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>The Rail Freight Strategy places emphasis on the Government’s support for modal shift from road to rail due to the environmental benefits and reduced emissions achieved by rail freight relative to road. The Clean Air Strategy also recognises that rail transport is a cleaner form of transport which makes a small contribution to poor air quality when compared to road haulage. Strategic Rail Freight Interchanges (SRFIs) are important in facilitating the transfer of freight from road to rail as well as reducing the cost to users of moving freight by rail.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/12/2018 13:28:36 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how the statement in the Rail Sector Deal will enable the sector’s capability to trade internationally; whether to this end they will remain in compliance with European Union Agency for Railways' standards and procedures; and if not, what alternative standards and procedures would be used.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL12132
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>The Rail Sector Deal includes a number of measures to improve the sector’s capability to trade internationally. The Rail Industry will map UK rail supply chain strengths and weaknesses and align this to an analysis of overseas opportunities to better target its export activities. The sector will also deliver an export mentoring and secondment programme, to strengthen exporting ability.</p><p> </p><p>After exiting the EU, the UK will have the flexibility to align with or diverge from new technical standards developed by the European Union Agency for Railways within a domestic standards framework. However, this does not mean that we wish to remove the UK from international norms in rail technical and safety standards. We will only diverge where there are clear arguments for doing so and after engaging fully with industry to assess the impact, while complying with our COTIF obligations, as well as the terms of a future UK-EU agreement.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/12/2018 14:16:20 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
