answer text <p>The Government has already introduced further measures to tackle drink drivers. Since 2015, repeat drink drivers must medically prove they are not alcohol dependent before getting their licence back, and the right to blood testing was removed for drivers who narrowly fail breathalyser tests. A £350,000 competition announced in June to develop a new mobile breathalyser for the police has also been completed and winning entries are currently undergoing testing.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Ministers and officials from my Department have regular discussions with major airports to discuss a range of matters, including issues relating to noise. The Government sets overall policy for aviation noise and also sets noise controls at Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, as these airports are designated under the Civil Aviation Act. At other airports, the Government believes that noise controls, best practice, and mitigations should be agreed locally, taking into account national policy.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Tackling drink driving is a priority for the Government and important steps have already been taken to tighten drink driving legislation. Since 2015, high risk offenders such as repeat drink drivers have to provide medical proof that they are not alcohol dependent before getting their licence back; the right to a blood test was also removed for drivers who narrowly fail a breathalyser test, denying those people the chance to sober up while waiting for the test to be taken; and a £350,000 innovation competition to provide police forces with the next generation of mobile breathalyser equipment has recently completed and bids are under review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in April 2017, outlines £1.2 billion of funding that may be invested in cycling and walking in England over the period to 2021. Since the Strategy’s publication, the Government has made further support available for cycling and walking infrastructure in England, through the National Productivity Investment Fund, Housing Infrastructure Fund, Transforming Cities Fund and Clean Air Fund. Decisions on allocating funding for greenways and dedicated cycle networks are for local authorities, who allocate and/or bid for funding alongside other local priorities. In addition, the Department for Transport is providing 44 local authorities in England with access to expert support to assist in the development of ten-year Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans. This support will enable authorities to map their future cycle networks and to prioritise future investments.</p><p> </p><p>Funding for infrastructure projects and local plans to support higher levels of cycling and walking in the rest of the UK is a matter for the devolved administrations.</p>

answer text <p>In England, Highways England is responsible for the strategic road network, that is motorways and major A roads. Local roads, making up around 98% of the road network, fall under the responsibility of the relevant local highway authority. Highways maintenance in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is a devolved matter and therefore falls under the responsibility of the respective Devolved Administrations. The Department is providing local authorities in England, outside London, with funding of £6.2 billion for local highways maintenance and to help repair potholes or stop them forming.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport does not hold information on what the estimated cost of insurance claims has been to the public purse in the last 12 months due to pothole damage. The matter of insurance and dealing with any compensation claims due to possible defects, including potholes, on the highway network is entirely a matter for the relevant highway authority, who have delegated statutory responsibility for managing and maintaining their roads as set out in the Highways Act 1980 (as amended).</p>
