answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>Access for All is already due to provide an accessible route into the station and to and between all platforms, including access to one of the car parks. As only around a fifth of UK stations have proper step free access we intend to target the new tranche of funding at stations that disabled passengers are unable to use, ensuring that Access for All will benefit the maximum number of people across the country. Additional scope at existing projects, such as an extra ramp, would therefore need to have third party funding.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 26/11/2018 16:58:11 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of proposed EU Mobility Package 1 on the (a) posting, (b) driving and (c) rest time of workers in the UK road transport industry.
tabling member constituency	Middlesbrough
tabling member printed	Andy McDonald
uin	194222
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The latest proposals in the EU Mobility Package establish a road transport sector-specific regime for the posting of workers. This is intended to provide an enforceable and proportionate set of rules, based on harmonised administrative requirements for drivers and operators and on information exchange between Member State authorities. The Government’s assessment is that this will reduce administrative burdens that can be placed on UK-based drivers operating abroad. It is also proposed to introduce a limited exemption from posting rules for bilateral international operations. UK-based drivers may therefore in some circumstances be exempt from the prevailing local minimum wage rate while working in other Member States, although this would not be expected to entail a change to their contractual entitlement.</p><p> </p><p>The latest proposals in the EU Mobility Package are that the driving and rest time rules would be modified to enable a driver to return to their base at least once every four weeks. In this context, to enable more of a driver’s rest time to be taken at home, it is proposed to enable drivers to take two consecutive reduced weekly rests, provided the reduction is compensated for. The Government considers that these rules would have a very limited effect on UK-based drivers, whose working patterns do not normally entail multiple weeks away from home.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 29/11/2018 11:43:29 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

uin	194224
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>Analysis, undertaken on the Cross Country network, has shown that from Mondays to Thursdays, Cross Country trains are extremely busy in the morning and evening peak. On Fridays, crowding on Cross Country trains starts from lunchtime onwards and, on some routes, extends into the late evening. In addition Cross Country has unique issues, in that it suffers from commuter traffic even though it is a long distance TOC which accounts for current pinch points.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working with the franchisee to reduce overcrowding, increase capacity and ease congestion.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/11/2018 12:18:08 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
