answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>A Walking, Cycling and Horse Riding Assessment is carried out by the relevant design team, not Highways England. In this case, we understand that the options and concept stages of the scheme began in the autumn of 2016 before the publication of the Walking, Cycling and Horse Riding Assessment and were subject to the applicable standard on Non-Motorised User Audits. The Transport Assessment accompanying the planning application provided information satisfying the criteria for a non-motorised user context report.</p><p>A Review Report is required at the end of the preliminary design stage and before commencement of detailed design followed by a further Review Report at the end of the detailed design phase and before construction commences. The design team is now at the end of the preliminary design stage, but detailed design has not yet begun. A Review Report is now due and will be completed before the commencement of detailed design.</p><p>The preliminary design improved pedestrian, cycle and equestrian access in the vicinity of the South Downs National Park, and further opportunities for improvement may be identified through a forthcoming Walking, Cycling and Horse Riding Review. The preliminary design was also compliant with Highways England’s design standards for cycle provision. Any non-compliance identified during detailed design will be removed or be subject to the process of assessment whether there may be grounds for a specific variation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 213150 213152 question first answered 31/01/2019 13:22:59 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises the inconvenience caused to passengers, including British citizens, by the situation regarding air travel between the north of Cyprus and the UK. Under the Chicago Convention, only the Republic of Cyprus may designate Ercan (in the north of Cyprus) as an international customs airport and grant permission for flights to operate from within its territory. The Republic of Cyprus has not designated Ercan.</p><p> </p><p>This means that no direct air services between the north of Cyprus and the UK can take place. Ultimately, a just and lasting settlement on the island is the best chance of resolving these complex issues. The UK’s commitment to helping all parties to achieve this remains unwavering.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/03/2023 12:40:33 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

The campaign is in early stages, with the industry looking further into the proposal. The Government will follow this work closely.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the national enforcement body for disabled passenger rights legislation in the UK. They work closely with the industry and monitor their performance to ensure the service the passengers receive is of high quality. The CAA publishes a report annually in which the UK airports are ranked as “very good”, “good” or “poor” in relation to the services and assistance they provide to disabled passengers and those with reduced mobility.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/01/2018 12:21:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
