answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>My Department has made no assessment of enforcement of disabled parking bays in supermarket car parks. Privately owned car parks are not subject to the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the terms and conditions under which they are operated are a matter for the car park owner. Owners of private car parks are covered by the Equality Act, and as such they are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that disabled people have the same access to the service as non-disabled people.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/07/2017 14:32:34 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2017 answer text <p>I can confirm that Network Rail has recently completed an investment scheme to provide W12 gauge clearance (this allows rail freight services to handle larger containers on conventional freight wagons) between York North and Mossend on the East Coast Main Line through Newcastle. In addition, Network Rail have been developing a scheme to construct three new freight loops on the East Coast Main Line between Northallerton and Newcastle, which will help increase network capacity and performance for both freight and passenger services on the route. I also understand that by extending the opening times of certain signal boxes, Network Rail have help to facilitate a new biomass flow which is expected to start in summer 2017 from the Port of Tyne to Lynemouth power station.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 07/07/2017 08:57:16 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
