answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of the specific impact but the Department recognises the importance of a high performing railway in contributing to growth and local economies. Avanti West Coast temporarily reduced its overall timetable to ensure a more stable and reliable service for passengers. It has now restored services to North Wales with five direct services between London and Holyhead per day, more than before the August timetable step-down. Crucially, this uplift in services is not dependent on driver rest day working.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 19/12/2022 16:04:03 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/12/2022 answer text <p>Legislation protects all animals from being transported in a way likely to cause injury or suffering. Invertebrates are protected from injury or unnecessary suffering during transportation by a general duty of care provision in Article 4 of The Welfare of Animals (Transport) (England) Order 2006 (WATEO) and equivalent national legislation in Scotland and Wales. WATEO requires that animals are transported in receptacles or means of transport under conditions (in particular with regard to space, ventilation, temperature and security) and with such supply of liquid and oxygen, as are appropriate for the species concerned. No further assessment has been made.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 30/12/2022 11:34:49 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
