answer text <p>The United Kingdom's membership of the Green Card system predates our membership of the European Union and is not at risk from withdrawal. Maintaining our current vehicular access to the EU without Green Card checks after we leave is one of a number of issues that will need to be addressed through negotiations. The Government made clear in its White Paper on EU withdrawal that our focus in negotiations will be on ensuring new barriers do not arise from our exit.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Through traffic modelling and forecasting Highways England has made an assessment of the scheme’s potential effect on levels of congestion at the Dartford Crossing. This is reported in section 4 of the Post-Consultation Scheme Assessment Report Volume 5.</p><p><a href="https://highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/cip/lower-thames-crossing-consultation/supporting_documents/PostConsultation%20Scheme%20Assessment%20Report%20Volume%205.pdf" target="_blank">https://highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/cip/lower-thames-crossing-consultation/supporting_documents/PostConsultation%20Scheme%20Assessment%20Report%20Volume%205.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>As the detailed design for the scheme progresses this will be subject to further assessment and an enhanced traffic model is being developed incorporating the latest travel demand data. This will be used to produce revised traffic volume and congestion forecasts for the local and wider road network, including the Dartford Crossing.</p> more like this

answer text <p>It is for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to decide how to fund any future extensions to the Manchester Metrolink system. This could include bidding for central Government funding. GMCA has already received funding from the Local Large Majors Fund to help develop a business case for a short extension of the Airport Line to serve the expanded terminal. They plan to bid for scheme funding by the end of the year. The bid will be in competition with a number of other schemes and decisions on which will be funded are to be taken in the New Year.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Figures on public sector spend per head of population at a regional level are part of the government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics, and are included below. However, there are significant caveats to be noted regarding the interpretation of these figures for transport spending.</p><p> </p><p>The CRA attempts to allocate expenditure on the basis of which region benefits from the spend, rather than where it is made. However, this can be challenging as expenditure in one part of the country may actually benefit a different area, and this affectsmotorways, trunk roads, and the railways. For example, whilst spending on a local hospital will predominantly benefit those who live in that area, spending on a motorway or railway line will benefit not just those living nearby but also those travelling from and to other areas across the country. Whilst the Department seeksto record rail funding across the regions based on which passengers benefit, allocations are inevitably fairly imprecise.</p><p> </p><p>Similarly, in recording spending on a per capita basis (i.e. per head of resident population), the calculation for London does not account for the large number of daily commuters, visitors and tourists who use and benefit from the roads and public transport networks, but who are not London residents. In particular, as the main international gateway into the country, London is the location for a range of transport investments which are designed to serve passengers well beyond the local resident population.</p><p> </p><p>The above caveats should be taken into account when looking at the CRA figures for regional Government expenditure on transport. The figures for 2015-16 relating to locations (b), (c) and (d) from the above request are shown in the table below. This information is published for government office regions only, and therefore is unavailable for (a) Liverpool City Region.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Table 1.
