question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to deploy (a) blended recycled plastic with bitumen and (b) other new technology to create more durable road surfaces.
tabling member constituency	Cheltenham
tabling member printed	Alex Chalk
uin	8372
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p>The Government is committed to exploring innovative ideas and processes for constructing, repairing and maintaining road surfaces. The Department for Transport is aware of a number of initiatives, both here in England and overseas, in which recycled plastic and other waste product materials are added as a binding mix to asphalt. Technological innovation in road maintenance processes can also improve efficiency and reduce waste by recycling existing road material.</p><p> </p><p>As part of a Live Labs research programme, the Department for Transport, in conjunction with the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (ADEPT) and private partners, announced in January 2019 that we were providing Cumbria County Council with £16 million to extend a trial for the selection and testing of recycled plastic in surfacing and structural treatments on the Local Road Network for which they are responsible. This trial will assess the suitability and durability of the plastics additives from minor patching work and pothole repairs through to major resurfacing.</p><p> </p><p>Elsewhere, on the Strategic Road Network, Highways England is committed to investing in innovation to help meet the economic, environmental and efficiency challenges we face in our changing world. Its Innovation Designated Fund provides £150 million in the first Road Investment Strategy for innovation capital projects to discover and implement emerging technologies, new materials and ways of working. Highways England currently has no plans to deploy blended recycled plastic with bitumen in road surfaces, but it continues to investigate its potential for future use.</p><p> </p><p>A trial of asphalt containing Ground Tyre Rubber was successfully completed along the M1 motorway in May 2019. By including a small amount of Ground Tyre Rubber into the asphalt surface it can present a good opportunity to re-cycle tyre rubber at its end-of-life, while not undermining asphalt properties and performance.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 04/02/2020 16:35:33 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

tabling member constituency	St Albans
tabling member printed	Daisy Cooper
uin	8476
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
