question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether Northern Powerhouse Rail is classified as an England and Wales project for the purposes of Barnett consequential funding; and if so, what aspects of that funding are spent in Wales.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL6695
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2023 answer text <p>The Barnett formula determines changes in devolved administration funding for responsibilities that are devolved in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government is responsible for heavy rail infrastructure across England and Wales so spends money on this in Wales rather than funding the Welsh Government to do so.</p><p> </p><p>This is consistent with the funding arrangements for all other policy areas reserved in England and Wales as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy. For example, the Welsh Government similarly does not receive Barnett funding in relation to UK Government spending on prisons in England because the UK Government also funds prisons in Wales directly.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government’s existing rail investment in Wales includes upgrading the signalling on the Cambrian Line, developing upgrades for Cardiff Central Station, re-opening Bow Street Station, and the electrification of the Severn Tunnel.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 29/03/2023 14:10:26 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether existing legislation relating to the use of e-scooters in urban areas is fit for purpose.
tabling member printed	Lord Rogan
uin	HL6697
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2023 answer text <p>In the UK, e-scooters are treated like any other motor vehicle under the Road Traffic Act which means that they are subject to laws requiring them to be built and used safely. The law was not drafted with e-scooters in mind and therefore it is not possible for most e-scooter users to comply with the legal requirements for motor vehicles as set out in this paragraph. As a result, the use of private e-scooters is illegal under current legislation, and enforcement is a matter for the police.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is currently running trials of rental e-scooters in 24 areas across England, including urban areas, to assess their safety and wider impacts. The trials will help us to better understand the benefits of e-scooters and their impact on public space, and help consider options for future regulations for e-scooters.</p><p> </p><p>When parliamentary time allows, the Department intends to create a Low-speed Zero Emission Vehicle (LZEV) category that is independent of the cycle and motor vehicle categories. The first beneficiaries of this new system will be e-scooters, which we intend to legalise for private and rental use through secondary legislation. No decisions have been made on the details of the regulations for e-scooters, and we will consult in due course.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 29/03/2023 15:21:28 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
