The Prime Minister's Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief tweeted on the issue on 10 August and is discussing it with members of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance. Our Permanent Observer at the Organisation of American States also referred to the issue in a statement at a special meeting on the situation in Nicaragua on 12 August.

The decision to consult was taken before the Coroner\u2019s Inquest into the tragic collision on 16 September 2017. It was based on the emerging body of evidence, collated by the Department for Transport, over several years including that obtained from vehicle inspections and the important new research commissioned in January 2018.<\/p>

The Department also commissioned an independent examiner in relation to the tyre implicated in the collision of 16 September 2017. The Department became aware of new evidence implicating tyre ageing directly in the cause of the collision on 21 February 2019, evidence with which the Department's independent examiner concurred. The analysis from the independent experts included as testimony at the inquest formed an important contribution to the Department's emerging evidence base.

There has not been a specific consultation launched on changing Class E airspace by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) but airspace users have asked about its use.<\/p>

The department has a close working relationship with the CAA and documents are routinely shared. This would include any outcome of the information request about Class E.<\/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" : "2018-10-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/994304/answer/previousversion/81659", "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"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-29T18:09:29.24Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Airspace"} , "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, if he will request that the outcome of the Civil Aviation Authority's consultation on changing Class E airspace procedures be shared with his Department; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1581", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Peter Bone"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wellingborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Peter Bone"} ], "uin" : "183313"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/900498", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/900498/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Average speed cameras are only used on motorways through roadworks for the safety of those travelling and working on the road. These limits are normally set at 50mph in accordance with published standards and in agreement with the police. Highways England can increase this speed limit to 55 mph or 60 mph where it is safe to do so. These speed restrictions are lifted once the roadworks are completed.<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England uses variable speed limits on smart motorways to manage traffic flows at busy times and in response to incidents on the network. A system of road sensors is used to detect actual vehicle speeds and the rate of flow of traffic on a motorway. Based on this information an algorithm is used to determine whether a reduced speed limit is required in order to maintain safety or optimise traffic flow. The algorithm works out the optimum speed for traffic by comparing the observed vehicle speed and traffic flow against the historical norm for a particular stretch of road. The automated system then activates the reduced speed limit at a level that will maintain safety and allow traffic to flow as freely as possible. Speed limits are set to 40mph to maintain safety when a slow moving or stopped vehicle is detected and are set to 50 or 60 mph to optimise traffic flow based on a number of factors detected by the sensors, including average speed, flow rate and traffic density.<\/p>

<\/p>

The algorithm ensures that speed limits are returned to 70 mph as soon as the detected traffic parameters indicate that this can be done safely. Highways England traffic operations staff are also able to activate or deactivate variable speed limits manually based on observed traffic patterns should this be required.<\/p>

<\/p>

These measures ensure that automated variable speed limits are set appropriately and that variable speed limits do not remain in place for longer than is necessary.<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England routinely monitors, reviews and learns lessons on the performance of variable speed limits on smart motorway schemes to ensure that the speed limits that are set are appropriate for the traffic conditions.<\/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" : "2018-05-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/900498/answer/previousversion/57775", "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"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-16T10:14:35.72Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motorways: Speed Limits"} , "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 the criteria are for activating an average speed monitored stretch of motorway; what measures are in place to (a) prevent an artificially low speed limit being implemented and (b) ensure that an average speed limit camera check is in place for no longer than necessary; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1200", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Greg Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Yorkshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Greg Knight"} ], "uin" : "142357"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.previousAnswerVersion.answeringMemberConstituency=Hereford+and+South+Herefordshire&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Hereford+and+South+Herefordshire&max-answer.dateOfAnswer=2023-03-02", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 107, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
