answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2020 answer text <p>The Department has made no such assessment.</p><p> </p><p>Ambulances on emergency business are already generally allowed to use bus lanes through an exemption in the underlying Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) which creates a bus lane. Local authorities can extend this to ambulances on non-emergency business if they wish, but will need to consider whether the vehicles are easily identifiable for enforcement purposes, and the impact on the operation of the lane for buses.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities are best placed to judge how best to operate bus lanes on their road networks. Bus lanes are provided to give buses priority over other traffic, particularly at congested times of day, and to provide bus passengers with a more reliable service. Allowing more vehicle types to use a bus lane may start to erode this priority.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 17/02/2020 15:35:39 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>The Resources and Waste Strategy published in December 2018 includes a commitment for a comprehensive range of recycling materials to be collected from all properties from 2023. We know that recycling materials are already collected successfully from many blocks of flats. However, there is limited data on which properties have chute systems so at the moment it is difficult to assess how far recycling separation is possible in a building without a waste chute. Work is underway to improve data capture on a range of high-density property types.</p><p> </p><p>Resource London (a joint London Waste and Recycling Board and WRAP initiative) has carried out research to increase recycling from flats and we expect the findings to be published shortly. This information will be helpful to local authorities wishing to improve recycling and complements information that WRAP already provides on recycling from flats.</p><p> </p><p>Measures announced in the recently published Environment Bill will support our commitment to increase consistency in recycling and we will consult on guidance which will include advice on service provision for different property types to improve recycling and to ensure good practice schemes can be implemented in all properties, including high rise accommodation.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow grouped question UIN 689 question first answered 22/10/2019 14:14:55 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
