answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has announced that some of the aviation security measures on flights to and from the UK are being stepped up in response to potential threats to aviation from terrorist organisations.</p><p> </p><p>As a result of the changes we are implementing, some passengers may notice additional security measures on some routes – both to and from the UK. Passengers on some routes may also be required to show that electronic devices in their hand luggage can be powered up or face not being allowed to bring the device onto the aircraft. Passengers are therefore advised to make sure electronic devices being carried in their hand luggage are charged before they travel.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and security of the public is a paramount concern and the UK government keeps aviation security under constant review.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 22/07/2014 14:35:17 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL989
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>We want to see more and more people using public transport - one of the key ways of encouraging this is to make sure it is a safe option. The transport industry, local authorities, the police and others are already investing in, and undertaking, wide-ranging initiatives to improve the personal security of public transport passengers and staff and to keep our public transport systems as low crime environments.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government is not readily able to increase passenger services in commercial transport markets. For example, decisions about bus services outside London are largely a matter for the private sector. Equally, it is difficult to see that any such increase would have a positive effect on matters of personal security.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 14/07/2014 13:32:11 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to introduce smart highways.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL933
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>The Highways Agency is investing record amounts in roads, which includes making motorways ‘smarter', using technology to actively manage traffic flows to reduce congestion and improve safety. On most sections of smart motorway the hard shoulder is used to provide additional capacity for road users: either through being converted into a traffic lane permanently, or opened to traffic when needed during busy times.</p><p> </p><p>To date we have delivered 14 of these types of schemes, and are in the process of constructing a further 6. Following the Spending Review in 2013 there are now plans to deliver a further 18. Collectively this will see smart motorway applications covering around 437 miles of the strategic road network supporting the economy, reducing congestion and providing much needed additional capacity on the busiest motorways.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond this, the Department for Transport will be considering future enhancements within its route strategy proposals which are due to report next year and will establish outline operational and investment priorities for all routes in the strategic road network out to 2021.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 16/07/2014 13:43:01 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
