question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government when HS2 is (1) built to Birmingham, and (2) completed, what is their estimate of the tonnage of freight that could be diverted from the roads onto the existing south to north railways, over what period of years, and with what effect on air pollution and greenhouse gases.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL15762
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2019 answer text <p>As a new rail line, HS2 will free up train paths on the existing railway which could be used to allow more freight to travel by rail. The freight operating companies will be able to apply for these additional paths in accordance with normal railway industry processes. The freight operators are independent commercial companies and the types of cargo, the tonnages and the routes will depend upon the demand that exists from their customers at that time. Any increase in the number of freight trains that results in a reduction in freight moved by road is likely to lead to a reduction in air pollution and greenhouse gases emissions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 29/05/2019 13:14:06 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold information on what kind of animal is involved in road accidents.</p><p> </p><p>The closest data we hold on this is the number of reported road accidents where ‘animal in carriageway’ is recorded as a carriageway hazard.

Since 2016, changes in severity reporting systems for a large number of police forces mean that serious injury figures, and to a lesser extent slight injuries, are not comparable with earlier years.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 15/01/2019 14:57:16 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
