answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>A meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment is difficult due to the nature of many transport projects, which traverse multiple regions. The Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) publishes a forward-looking pipeline of planned projects, including transport programmes by region. However, this includes a number of projects that have not been allocated to regions, and, by value, around 60% have not been allocated to an individual region because they relate to schemes that cover multiple regions or programmes that will be spread across the whole country, such as HS2. A link to the current IPA published data is below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-infrastructure-and-construction-pipeline-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-infrastructure-and-construction-pipeline-2016</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/10/2017 14:23:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>No estimate has been made on the number of unlicensed vehicles that remain on the public road with a Statutory off Road Notification (SORN) after being clamped by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). However, we expect the majority of these vehicles to have been licensed or moved off the public highway.</p><p> </p><p>Any vehicles remaining unlicensed on the public highway risk being clamped again. When a vehicle is clamped by the DVLA for being unlicensed and with a SORN in force the keeper is required to relicense the vehicle or pay a surety in order for the clamp to be removed. If no action is taken, then the vehicle is removed from the public highway to a pound within 72 hours.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities and the police can also clamp and impound unlicensed or abandoned vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/10/2017 12:16:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

tabling member constituency	Jarrow

uin	108424
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving connectivity within the North of England, and between the North and the rest of England. Once the £380m scheme to upgrade the A1 between Leeming and Barton is completed in spring 2018, there will be a continuous motorway link between London and Tyne and Wear. The £61m Coal House to Metro Centre improvement scheme has already improved journey times on the A1 Newcastle Gateshead Western Bypass, and further phases are under development, along with a scheme to dual more of the A1 in Northumberland. East to west connectivity will be improved by the commitment to complete the dualling of the A66 and improve junctions on the A69 around Hexham.</p><p> </p><p>Rail connectivity will be improved by the new Northern and TransPennine Express franchises, which will provide new trains, more than 500 new carriages, room for 40,000 extra passengers and more than 2,000 extra services a week, by 2020. As part of this, the frequency of Transpennine trains between Newcastle and York/Leeds/Manchester will increase from one to two trains per hour. Services on the East Coast Main Line will be improved in 2018 when the introduction of new Azuma trains will provide over 12,000 extra seats.</p><p> </p><p>The Department awaits Transport for the North’s draft Strategic Transport Plan which will set out their aims for further improving transport connectivity in the North.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/10/2017 14:14:32 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
