answer text <p>Highways England are supporting the uptake of electric vehicles by working to ensure that 95 per cent of the strategic road network will have a chargepoint every 20 miles.</p><p>Highways England have also been exploring and testing a range of measures and innovative products as part of their programme of air quality research. They have evidence that tall barriers can reduce concentrations of NO2 for the residents closest nearby, and they are progressing with work to see how these could be installed on the network. This work is underpinned by their £100m Air Quality Designated Fund.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Government is supportive of all airports including those in Scotland, in creating new international connections. The Government believes that air passengers are best served by a commercial airline market which is able to operate in a competitive environment. It is solely a matter for airlines to determine which airports they operate based on their own assessment of costs and passenger demand.</p> more like this

This identified 10 areas between M20 Junction 8-9 which required investigation because of the level of noise.</p><p>Action has been taken to mitigate noise at five out of the 10 areas with the installation of noise insulation. Highways England are working to address the remaining five areas, including trials to test options to reduce the noise generated by concrete road surfaces.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department did not make any write-offs of permanent fixed assets in financial years 2016-17 and 2017-18.</p><p>The Department records an annual write-down of infrastructure assets in the financial statements. These write-downs represent notional accounting adjustments arising from the different valuation bases which are applied at different stages over an asset’s life in accordance with HMT’s financial reporting rules, and do not represent write-offs of actual permanent assets.</p><p>Write-offs may also arise in respect of other asset categories such as debt, investment or inventory balances. These write-offs are included within Losses as reported by the Department. Where such write-offs individually exceed £300,000, they are separately disclosed as Losses in the Parliamentary Accountability Report within the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department is working with Highways England and other key stakeholders to finalise the Operation Brock plans. Operation Brock consists of three phases, involving a contraflow queuing system on the M20, and holding areas at Manston Airport and finally, and only if necessary, on the M26.</p><p> </p><p>The initial assessment made by Highways England is that the M26 could potentially accommodate up to 2300 HGVs if all running lanes on both carriageways were utilised, subject to the necessary health and safety risk assessments.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a continually evolving portfolio of the government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p> </p><p>At the end of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), 320 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19) has not yet been cleared and finalised. At the end of September 2018 (i.e. the latest submitted data, at end of the Quarter 2 reporting period for 2018-19), 361 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>Given the different nature of the projects and programmes within the Department for Transport, some of the FTE figures include public sector employees in the relevant arms-length-body.</p>
