answer text <p>Network Rail have operational responsibility for rail infrastructure, including level crossings. These are risk assessed and appropriate protective measures put in place to ensure the safety of the travelling public and users. It appears that the incident at Rossington was caused by a stolen car crashing through the fence next to the level crossing. The level crossing and the fence had been identified as suitable protection by a risk assessment undertaken by Network Rail. The investigation into the incident is for the British Transport Police, who are currently investigating.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Great British Railways will be a single, familiar brand with accountable leadership, responsible for delivering better value and flexible fares, alongside the punctual and reliable services passengers deserve. A coherent, consistent and clearly branded railway network will give passengers confidence in using it. Great British Railways will use updated versions of the classic ‘double arrow’ logo, which remains the most widely recognised symbol of the railway in this country. Variants to the national brand will be developed to reflect the English regions, Scotland and Wales, while emphasising that the railway is one network serving the whole of Great Britain and so it is entirely feasible that the names the Hon Gentleman refers to will continue to figure on our railways.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The aviation sector is crucial to the UK’s economy and businesses across the industry have drawn on an unprecedented package of economic measures which we have put in place. This includes support through loan guarantees, support for exporters, the Bank of England’s Covid Corporate Financing Facility, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Airport and Ground Operations Scheme. In total, we estimate that by the end of September 2021 the air transport sector will have benefited from around £7bn of Government support since the start of the pandemic.</p><p>The Airport and Ground Operations Scheme provides eligible commercial airports support towards their fixed costs. The Scheme originally opened in January to provide support to airports for the 2020/21 financial year. In the March Budget, the Chancellor announced a six-month renewal to the scheme from April, initial payments will be made towards the end of the summer.</p><p>The caps on the support strike an appropriate balance between supporting airports and ground handing companies in financial distress while protecting the interests of the taxpayer.</p><p>The support will help airports and ground handlers following the introduction of international travel restrictions designed to protect the public. We continue to take a flexible approach and keep all impacts and policies under review.</p><p> </p>
