The Civil Aviation Authority monitors the financial position of all UK airlines, including Flybe, as part of its routine airline licensing activities. Given the commercial sensitivity of such information, it is not publicly available. Flybe recently published its latest results, and more information about its business activities can be found in its annual report.<\/p>

Flybe offers a wide range of air connections which support regional connectivity.

Enforcement against criminal activity against HGV drivers and their vehicles is a matter for the police. The Department will continue to engage with stakeholders to encourage the development of more safe, secure and high-quality lorry parking facilities. In particular, Highways England is developing its role as statutory planning consultee for such developments on the strategic road network, and this will include consideration of desirable criteria for lorry parking such as security features.

The Department is currently taking forward a number of road safety measures in accordance with its publicly stated road safety priorities, through the Road Safety Statement, which includes working closely with local authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
In June successful bids for the Safer Roads Fund were announced. This was made available to enable local authorities to improve the 50 most dangerous stretches of \u2018A\u2019 roads in England. All bids from the local authorities concerned were successful for full funding and the Department will be investing £100 million to tackle these dangerous roads.<\/p>

On 22 November the Government\u2019s response to the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS): safety review call for evidence was published. The response sets out a vision and a two year plan of action to help deliver the Government\u2019s commitment to increasing cycling and walking and making our roads safer for vulnerable road users, including cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders. Among the key measures in the action plan, the Government has committed to reviewing the guidance in the Highway Code to improve safety for vulnerable road users.<\/p>
