Forecasts of traffic impacts across all routes affected by the Lower Thames Crossing including A229, A249 and M2 were included in the economic assessment that informed the selection of the scheme\u2019s preferred route. This appraisal was reported in section 4 of the Post-Consultation Scheme Assessment Report Volume 5.<\/p>
<\/p>
Highways England are now undertaking more detailed consideration of the traffic impacts of the proposals across the local and wider road network.<\/p>
<\/p>
This further assessment will inform the detailed design of the scheme and will be published in 2018 ahead of the scheme\u2019s statutory consultation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-21T08:56:47.273Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Lower Thames Crossing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the new Lower Thames Crossing on traffic congestion on the (a) A229 (b) A249 (c) M2 Junctions 3, 5 and 7.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4527", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Whately"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Faversham and Mid Kent"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Helen Whately"} ], "uin" : "119524"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/806605", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/806605/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Landowners are responsible for deciding the terms and conditions that apply for parking on their land and the terms of their contracts with private parking companies.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) only discloses data to parking companies that are members of an accredited trade association and signed up to a code of practice that promotes fair treatment of motorists. The DVLA is notified of any issues of non-compliance with the code as needed.<\/p>
<\/p>
The DVLA carries out both remote and on-site audits in conjunction with the Government Internal Audit Agency. These audits help to ensure that data is used only in accordance with strict contractual terms. Failure to comply can result in a parking company\u2019s suspension from eligibility to request vehicle keeper data.<\/p>

Subject to Parliamentary approval, we plan to increase the obligation on fuel suppliers from April 2018. The working group is considering other recommendations from the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership report in tandem with preparations to introduce new fuel labelling requirements for all road fuels by October 2018. The group is focussed on ensuring that there is clear consumer advice, including on vehicle compatibility for E10 fuel, ahead of the introduction of the new labels. This should help enable a smooth introduction of E10 should commercial fuel retailers choose to supply it.<\/p>"}
