The Government will also consider the needs of horse riders in its forthcoming review of the Highway Code.

uin	218774
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>All Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are believed to be correct when issued in good faith by Highways England, but under the terms of the Dart Charge scheme PCNs may be contested under the representation and independent appeals procedure for a number of reasons - including circumstances where the charging authority followed all procedures correctly. Since the start of the scheme, up to the end of December 2018, a total of 11,057,905 PCNs have been issued. Of these less than 1% (91,748) are deemed to have been issued incorrectly. This can be for a range of reasons but includes the misreading of vehicle registrations and road user charge payments being inaccurately allocated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/02/2019 13:00:45 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking through Operation Brock to prepare for potential congestion around junctions 3, 4 and 5 of the M25 motorway as a result of disruption on the M20 and M26 in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
tabling member constituency	Orpington
tabling member printed	Joseph Johnson
uin	218299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2019 answer text <p>The plans for Operation Brock have been designed to keep traffic flowing in both directions on the M20 in the event of disruption to freight and other transport across the Channel. It would also thereby alleviate traffic congestion across the neighbouring strategic and local road network. The deployment of the M26 to queue Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) temporarily will only be done in the unlikely event that capacity has been exceeded elsewhere under Brock contingency planning. The routes that HGVs will be directed to travel under Brock will be clearly signposted, and have been designed to minimise disruption on other roads, such as the M25, as much as possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/02/2019 15:35:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
