answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has already highlighted to local highway authorities the importance of scanning deceased dogs and cats found on the highway as part of standard practice. This advice was included in a letter sent in March 2015 to highway authorities in England, outside London. It is the responsibility of each highway authority to determine whether to do so or not based on their own policies and procedures. However, the Department for Transport will look for opportunities to highlight the issue to local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/11/2017 16:29:08 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>HM Treasury’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline (NICP) are not directly comparable.</p><p> </p><p>The CRA provides comprehensive historical analysis of public sector spend on transport by region up to 2016, outlining spend on maintaining and administering the transport network, such as maintaining the local road network. It also includes the actual investment to build new infrastructure, such as investment in a new bypass. CRA data are National Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The NICP differs from the CRA in that it is a forward-looking view focused on planned projects. It is intended to provide industry with a strategic view of the planned investment in projects to deliver new infrastructure and construction projects across the public and private sectors, including the transport network, up to 2021 and beyond. The IPA makes clear that the NICP is based on non-comprehensive, unaudited administrative data and should not be considered as National Statistics or Official Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>It is very difficult to offer a meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment based on the NICP. This is because only around 40% of the value of projects in the pipeline to 2020/21 has been allocated to individual English regions.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/07/2017 11:02:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
