We recognise performance on the railway has been unsatisfactory, and passengers have not always received the level of service they expected. While performance has improved recently, the new Transport Secretary understands passengers need the certainty of reliable journeys, and is determined to work with industry to improve performance.<\/p>

<\/p>

Official statistics on passenger rail reliability and performance are published by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).<\/p>

<\/p>

Cancellations and Significant Lateness (CaSL) measures the proportion of trains arriving at the final destination more than 30 minutes after the planned timetable or is cancelled either in full or in part.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Public Performance Measure (PPM) is defined as the percentage of trains arriving at the final destination within five minutes of the planned timetable for London and South East, Regional and Scotland operators, or within ten minutes for the Long Distance operators.<\/p>

<\/p>

Both PPM and CaSL measures reflect punctuality and reliability at the final destination, rather than at each station stop. For ease of reference, the national PPM and CaSL scores for the last 5 years are included in the table below.<\/p>

Since April 2019, the industry has adopted a new set of standard measures for measuring train performance including punctuality at each recorded station stop. The latest statistics are available from the below link:<\/p>

In regards to air quality, following designation of the Airports National Policy Statement, it is now down to an applicant for development consent to undertake a detailed assessment of the air quality impacts of its scheme, including during construction, and put forward an appropriate package of mitigations that address air quality impacts and demonstrate compliance.<\/p>

<\/p>

In order to grant development consent, I would need to be satisfied that, with mitigation, the scheme would be compliant with legal obligations.<\/p>

<\/p>

Separately, my Department will also be working to speed up the research, development and adoption of low and zero carbon aviation technology.<\/p>

Earlier this year my officials progressed a Statutory Instrument through Parliament which ensures that the UK\u2019s existing regulatory regime for ship and port security will continue to function effectively after EU Exit.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Statutory Instrument will enter into force on the day on which the UK leaves the EU. This Statutory Instrument includes provisions which enable the Government to continue to issue pre-arrival notification (PAN) exemptions to operators of vessels travelling on scheduled services from the EU into the UK after our withdrawal from the EU, even in a no deal scenario.<\/p>

<\/p>

Vessels travelling from the UK into the EU following the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU will need to provide the necessary pre-arrival security information for scheduled routes. Government has communicated widely with operators and has provided advice to them about the change. This was done in the form of a technical notice which can be found here;<\/p>

The Government has taken forward the actions identified in the notice on seafarer certificates published in September 2018. We have introduced the Merchant Shipping (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. The regulations correct deficiencies in domestic legislation that would otherwise have existed as a result of the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU. This enables continued recognition of seafarer qualifications from EU and EEA countries.<\/p>

<\/p>
