answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2023 answer text <p>Station operators are responsible for ensuring the stations which they manage are safe, secure and accessible. All station operators must establish and comply with an Accessible Travel Policy (ATP) that states how they will protect the interests of disabled passengers at stations, and provides an overview of the accessibility of station facilities and services. The ATP sets out, amongst other things, the arrangements and assistance that an operator will provide to protect the interests of disabled customers. As part of that operators must set out the waiting facilities that are provided.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 24/02/2023 10:21:44 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2023 answer text <p>Rental e-scooter trials were launched in July 2020 in 32 areas across England. The Department for Transport commissioned an independent evaluation of the e-scooter trials, covering data up to December 2021. The evaluation examines how and why rental e-scooters are used, and by whom, as well as safety, mode shift, environmental and wider social impacts.</p><p> </p><p>From the key findings, the majority of residents saw the introduction of e-scooters in their area as positive. Some members of the public raised concerns about the behaviour displayed by riders, with pavement riding causing particular concern among pedestrians with mobility issues and blind or partially sighted individuals.</p><p> </p><p>The findings have already been used to inform updates in guidance and regulation of the e-scooter trials and will continue to be used to inform future e-scooter policy. The Department will continue to engage with a range of stakeholders representing the needs of blind and visually impaired people, including through a public consultation, before any new arrangements come into force.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/02/2023 14:29:02 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	147146
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government has considered a number of options to introduce roaming to the public charging network. Mandating that chargepoint operators must connect to at least one external roaming provider offers the most flexibility to industry and room for innovation. The Government will be laying legislation in Parliament to mandate roaming soon, with enforcement coming into effect 24 months after the legislation comes into force.</p><p> </p><p>If the Government does not see sufficient progress within that timeframe, it may consider designating approved providers. However, the intention is that the market will converge on a handful of roaming providers or apps that offer the best experience for consumers and fleet drivers.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/02/2023 14:41:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
