I very much welcome the success of the British Mountaineering Council's Mend our Mountains<\/em> campaign which last year raised almost £104,000 to help repair damaged and eroded paths on some of our most iconic mountains and upland landscapes in our national parks.<\/p> <\/p>
The Government will be providing over £190 million for the national park authorities in England until 2020. The national park authorities will look to work with the British Mountaineering Council in providing any help they can give to future projects which can help make a difference to the health and condition of these treasured and much used landscapes.<\/p>

Closures have been central to Network Rail\u2019s level crossing risk reduction strategy for the last seven years. Over 1000 crossings have been closed during this time, significantly contributing towards reduced risk and improved safety across the rail network. Level crossing closure (by means of bridge, underpass, diversion or extinguishment of legal rights of way) is often the only solution that will mitigate level crossing safety risk completely. Network Rail undertakes many different assessments to build a case for closure and identify alternative routes for those on foot or on horse and any proposed closures require agreement from local stakeholders and authorities, otherwise they are likely to proceed to a public enquiry.<\/p>"}

The UK has always been supportive of deepening trade relations between the US and the EU and continues to support an ambitious, wide-ranging TTIP deal which opens markets. It is for the Commission and the new US Administration to discuss TTIP in the first instance. We welcome the significant progress that has been made to date.<\/p>
A joint EU-US report was published on 17 January 2017 on progress made in the TTIP negotiations. The Government was notified by the Commission last week that a more detailed technical report is now available, which we are in the process of making accessible to MPs and Peers in the UK\u2019s national TTIP Reading Room.<\/p>"}

Soot particles, also known as black carbon, exert a warming influence on the climate through their enhanced ability to absorb sunlight. They also affect the climate through their impact upon cloud formation and upon the reflectance of the Earth\u2019s surface. These effects make the overall impact of black carbon on the climate less certain.<\/p>
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s 5th<\/sup> Assessment Report in 2013 showed that soot ranks third behind carbon dioxide and methane as a climate warming agent, excluding its influence on clouds. Recent work by the Hadley Centre found that the elimination of soot emissions between 2010 and 2100 could lead to an approximately 0.15 degree centigrade decrease in global mean surface temperature. However, as several measures that reduce black carbon emissions also reduce other emissions of cooling pollutants such as sulphate and brown carbon it may not be technically possible to realise this benefit in full, even if measures could be fully deployed globally.<\/p>The government is taking a number of actions to reduce emissions fine particles (PM2.5<\/sub>) for air quality and health reasons which will lead to decreases in emissions of black carbon and reduce wasted energy resources. These include measures to reduce vehicle particle emissions, increasing the efficiency of wood burning stoves through product standards and raising awareness of the benefits of using quality fuel and the implementation of the Non Road Mobile Machinery Regulations.<\/p>Other short lived climate pollutants include methane and tropospheric ozone. Reductions of emissions of methane and precursors of ozone are occurring through measures on vehicle and combustion plant emissions and through the natural gas mains replacement programme. In the longer term we have agreed, in the revised Gothenburg Protocol to the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution, stringent emission ceilings which constrain total UK emissions of fine particles (PM2.5<\/sub>) and oxides of nitrogen from 2020 onwards. Methane is included in our ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets under the Climate Change Act 2008.<\/p>"}
