answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognizes the importance of airports addressing the needs of all passengers, especially disabled passengers or those with reduced mobility. Addressing their needs better is an important part of the new Aviation Strategy, currently under development. The Government is also considering what more can be done to ensure that disabled passengers and those with reduced mobility have equal access to air travel and that their needs are met. The Government will consult on policy options to improve accessibility in a Green Paper, due to be published by the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p>These proposals will build on the work of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to improve transparency on this issue. The CAA publishes annual reports on airports’ performance on accessibility, based on a regulatory framework it introduced to the sector in 2014. This is used by the CAA to hold airports to account and to work closely with those that have not reached a good standard, so that necessary improvements are made.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/11/2018 14:19:59 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>It is a long established principle that traders have no right to any particular level of passing trade and there are no legal grounds for them to claim for loss of such trade as a result of street works or road works. Works do need to take place from time to time and many businesses will benefit from the resulting improvements. Authorities and utilities should endeavour to ensure that works are undertaken as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to keep disruption to a minimum.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/09/2018 12:39:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>The 2020 renewable energy target requires the UK to achieve 15% of final energy consumption from renewables by the end of this decade. This requires action to promote renewables in electricity generation, heating and transport. There is a binding 10% sub-target of transport fuels from renewable sources.</p><p>We have met the Directive’s interim targets, and are currently progressing in line with the trajectory set out in the Directive. We are making good progress towards the next interim target of an average of 7.47% of energy from renewables across 2015 and 2016, and in 2015 8.3% of energy came from renewable sources.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/11/2016 14:52:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
