uin	HL249
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2015 answer text <p>A comprehensive review of the effect on road wear of the heaviest goods vehicles permitted to run in normal operations was last done as part of the process before the regulations about maximum permissible Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) weights were last revised in 2000. The Road Vehicles (Authorised Weight) (Amendment) Regulations 2000 permitted the use of 44 tonne vehicles for general use. These vehicles have been permitted in Great Britain since 1 February 2001.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates of the road wear attributable to HGVs have been updated periodically, but not comprehensively, most recently in 2014 when road to rail and water mode shift grants were reviewed. A significant piece of research about the potential effects of longer and heavier lorries was published by the Department for Transport in 2008.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 11/06/2015 11:22:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

hansard heading	A1: Nottinghamshire
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the cost of the current road works incorporating a new bridge on the A1 road close to Gamston Airfield near Retford; what was the original time estimated to complete the works; how long the work has already taken; and what penalties the contractors have incurred, if any.
tabling member printed	Lord Jopling
uin	HL105
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>The current estimated cost of the A1 roadworks close to Gamston Airfield is forecast to be £13.6m, which is £6.2m higher than the original £7.4m target cost. The project is also expected to finish around October 2015, a slip of three months. This reflects significant problems that were encountered during the course of the works. The contract was constructed on a ‘pain or gain’ basis, so the contractor will have to absorb a significant share of the cost increase. This, and any other penalties, will be calculated on completion of the works, when all costs are known.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/06/2015 11:12:28 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Laird
uin	HL30
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2015 answer text <p>All security scanners (also known as body scanners) deployed in the UK use millimetre wave technology. The technology must meet the safety requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2011 and Council Recommendation 1999/519/EU for the protection of the health of workers and the general public. Manufacturers must ensure their Security Scanner equipment conform to these standards and that they also comply with requirements for electromagnetic compatibility to ensure they do not interfere with other electronic devices. This is conducted by independent third parties. To be used in UK airports Security Scanner must additionally comply with security performance standards as defined in UK regulations. Compliance with the security requirements is conducted by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) before being approved by the Department for Transport for operational use. UK Airports are informed of the results through an approved equipment list on the GOV.UK website.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/06/2015 12:02:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they began the administrative review of the recovery decisions involving Traveller sites in the Green Belt; what criteria are being applied for the review; and when the review is likely to be published.
tabling member printed	Lord Avebury
uin	HL5936
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2015 answer text <p>This Government continues to attach great importance to safeguarding the Green Belt. It will address concerns about the harm caused when there is unauthorised development of land in advance of obtaining planning permission and there is no opportunity to appropriately limit or mitigate the harm that has already taken place. For these reasons, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government will introduce a new planning and recovery policy for the Green Belt early in the new Parliament to strength protection against unauthorised development. This new policy will apply to all development within the Green Belt. In the meantime he has also decided to de-recover those cases of appeals for Traveller development in the Green Belt on which a substantive decision has not been reached. These will be remitted back to the Planning Inspectorate and, where appropriate, we will re-assess them in light of the new recovery policy.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 26/03/2015 14:48:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
