The Government has put passengers at the centre of the development of the Aviation Strategy. The Government recognises that it is important for the needs of all passengers, including those with less obvious disabilities such as hearing loss, to be addressed by airports. Assistance for passengers with this and other hidden disabilities will be considered as part of the work on the strategy.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government will build on the good work of the Civil Aviation Authority, which in 2016 introduced a new regulatory framework designed to ensure passengers with hidden disabilities get the assistance they need at airports, followed by an initial report in 2018 on airport enhancements as a result of the new guidance.<\/p>

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has robust measures in place to protect the data it holds. The release of DVLA\u2019s data is subject to a formal assessment to ensure that there are adequate policies, procedures and technical controls in place to protect it. Data Protection Impact Assessments are completed to identify and address any privacy risks and ensure that personal data is only processed in compliance with the law.<\/p>

<\/p>

Recipients of vehicle keeper information must handle the data in accordance with clear terms and conditions. Where recipients pass the information onto another company, there must be a formal contract in place to provide assurance over the use and security of the data. The original recipient retains overall responsibility for the use of the data by its sub-contractors.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DVLA carries out its own comprehensive audits, involving both remote and on-site audits in conjunction with the Government Internal Audit Agency. This helps to ensure that information provided by the DVLA is used only in accordance with its terms and conditions. Failure to comply can result in denied access to the information.<\/p>

Enforcement of road traffic collisions is a matter for the Police.

Air quality is managed across a range of policy areas led by several departments, which are continuing to address this important issue. The primary focus in the short term is on bringing forward compliance with legal limits for NO2<\/sub> concentrations, and stakeholders from seven departments take part in the coordinated implementation and governance of the NO2 <\/sub>Plan. The principle cause of these emissions is transport, and that is why the Defra-DfT Joint Air Quality Unit continues to lead this work. A Ministerial Oversight Group for air quality is in place to ensure a coherent approach across Government, and gives ministers from Defra, DfT, DHSC, MHCLG and HMT direct oversight of the delivery of the Plan.<\/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" : "2018-10-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-15T14:40:21.13Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Air Pollution"} , "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 progress has been made on implementing the findings of the Joint Select Committee Report into Air Quality, in relation to aligning climate change schemes, urban planning, public transport and fiscal incentives with air quality goals.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/304", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Roger Godsiff"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Hall Green"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Roger Godsiff"} ], "uin" : "177172"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982587", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982587/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
