answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p>Alongside our upcoming Transport Decarbonisation Plan, we will shortly bring forward a consultation on aviation and climate change. It is critical that we consider how aviation can play its part in delivering our net zero ambitions, so that the aviation sector can continue to thrive.</p><p>International shipping is unique in being the only global sector with a volumetric emissions reduction target, as set out in the International Maritime Organization’s Initial GHG Strategy. The UK was a leading voice in the negotiation of this Strategy, and our primary focus regarding international shipping emissions is now to agree through the IMO the short-, medium- and long-term measures required to reach the targets. Government will invite further views on its domestic actions to reduce shipping emissions through the publication later this year of a Call for Evidence on non-tax incentives to support the transition to zero emission shipping.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 04/02/2020 16:37:17 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

question text	Her Majesty's Government why works in connection with HS2 and Granby Terrace bridge were transferred from the scope of the work being undertaken by Skanska Costain Strabag JV, as the main works contractors, to that of Costain Skanska JV, as the enabling works contractor.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL783
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>The HS2 works to Granby Terrace bridge, which include the partial demolition of the existing bridge and the construction of a new extension over the HS2 alignment, was scope originally allocated to the Early Works Contractor Costain Skanska JV (CSJV). To enable the efficient delivery of the HS2 works, HS2 Ltd reviews which of its Contractors is best placed to deliver specific scope items where there is an opportunity to deliver cost savings, schedule benefits or reduce interface risks. Following careful consideration, HS2 Ltd concluded that the Main Works Civils Contractor (Skanska Costain Strabag JV) is better placed to undertake the works because of the benefits to the overall HS2 programme and therefore decided to transfer the scope.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 10/02/2020 15:43:24 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
