answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>Local transport policy and funding, including funding for active travel, is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government. In England outside London, the Government is projecting investment of around £3bn in active travel over the current Parliament. Amounts per capita in future years will vary significantly from one part of the country to another depending not only on local investment decisions but also on final decisions on capital and revenue budgets for active travel for the next two financial years, which have not yet been taken.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 14:59:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason the budget for active travel has been reduced from £3.8 billion to £3 billion over this Parliament.
tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	163807
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department does not recognise the reduction that the Honourable Lady refers to. The figure of £3.8 billion was a projection of total investment from a wide range of Government funding streams over the five-year period of the second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS2), published in July 2022. The Department has had to make savings across all modes of travel to meet inflationary pressures caused in part by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, the Department continues to invest very significantly in active travel and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 14:56:55 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government’s ambitions for walking and cycling up to 2025 and 2030 are outlined in the second statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS2) which was published in July 2022. Many of the steps the Government is taking to boost walking and cycling were also outlined in the Government’s Gear Change plan, published in July 2020. A total of around £3 billion of Government funding is projected to be invested into active travel over this Parliament. This includes at least £100m of dedicated capital funding over the two-year period 2023/24 to 2024/25, and an expected £850m of dedicated capital funding over the first three years of this Parliament.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 14:54:42 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises the inconvenience caused to passengers, including British citizens, by the situation regarding air travel between the north of Cyprus and the UK. Under the Chicago Convention, only the Republic of Cyprus may designate Ercan (in the north of Cyprus) as an international customs airport and grant permission for flights to operate from within its territory. The Republic of Cyprus has not designated Ercan.</p><p> </p><p>This means that no direct air services between the north of Cyprus and the UK can take place. Ultimately, a just and lasting settlement on the island is the best chance of resolving these complex issues. The UK’s commitment to helping all parties to achieve this remains unwavering.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/03/2023 12:40:33 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
