	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of ensuring hauliers have access to appropriate services and facilities.</p><p>That is why we are investing £52.5 million in roadside facilities in England for HGV drivers on the road. The funding will go towards supporting operators to make improvements such as improving security, sanitary and eating facilities as well as possibly increasing parking spaces for lorry drivers.</p><p>We have commissioned a ‘National Lorry Parking Survey’ which commenced in January 2022 and will be used as our primary evidence base to understand what improvements are most needed and where they are needed. The M42 including the area around Tamworth is included in this survey and its output will be used to set criteria for government funding. In addition, once published, the Survey will be available to support planning applications for new lorry parking.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 11:36:58 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>Over the past three tranches of active travel funding rounds beginning in 2020 a total of £2,385,500 of Active Travel funding has been awarded to Staffordshire. Funding is not defined by the proportion allocated to individual modes of travel. However, whilst it is not possible to determine the funding directly attributed to cycling or walking, the implementation of active travel schemes has a wider benefit beyond the scope of individual schemes, providing benefits to those who are walking, wheeling, or cycling.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 15:13:46 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>All taxis and private hire vehicles must be licensed to operate legally. The Government expects licensing authorities to undertake appropriate compliance and enforcement activity to deter illegal plying for hire by unlicensed drivers, and to raise public awareness of the risk of using unlicensed, uninsured and unvetted drivers and vehicles. The Government recently consulted on revised Best Practice Guidance for taxi and private hire vehicle licensing authorities in England which included proposals on vehicle signage. The responses to this consultation are currently being analysed. The Government’s response to this consultation will be published in due course, along with the final version of the guidance.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 15:12:32 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>The provision of tram services is largely devolved in England. It is for local transport authorities and operating companies to determine ticket prices.</p><p>Throughout the pandemic, the Government has supported tram systems with exceptional financial support. In total, the Government will have provided around £250 million to English tram and light rail systems outside London. This funding has helped keep services running and reduced any need for local authorities and operators to pass financial pressures on to passengers.</p><p>The recently announced Energy Bill Relief Scheme will provide a price reduction to ensure that all businesses and other non-domestic customers, including local authorities, are protected from excessively high energy bills over the winter. As an energy intensive sector, it is expected many Light Rail systems will benefit significantly from this scheme.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 15:10:57 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
