National Highways have a legal duty to achieve compliance of NO2<\/sub> levels on their roads in the shortest possible time. Part of this duty was to review new technology and research.<\/p>

<\/p>

The speed trial was one of these pieces of research undertaken by experts from Connected Places Catapult, supported by consultation and joint working with leading experts in emission measurements and modelling at TNO in the Netherlands between May 2017 and January 2019, and TU Graz in Austria.<\/p>

<\/p>

Findings of National Highways\u2019 research have been presented to the Dispersion Modellers User Group (DMUG) and ITS(UK) Smart Environment Interest Group and is published on National Highways\u2019 website.<\/p>

<\/p>

The speed trial implemented in 2021 was a way to understand if this research would work in real world conditions. The complex analysis of all the data collected on the M1 trial is currently being analysed and a report on the conclusions of the M1 speed trial will be published shortly.<\/p>

When DWP receive correspondence relating to a complaint from a Member of Parliament, they aim to fully resolve or agree a resolution within 15 working days of receipt. Complex issues may take longer to resolve<\/p>


The correspondence referenced was received from the MP on 19 July 2023. On 25 July, the complaint resolution manager contacted the customer to discuss their complaint. During the call, the customer asked CMG to audit her child maintenance account to confirm the arrears owed to her are correct. On 25 July, CMG wrote to the MP\u2019s office confirming they would be unable to provide a full response within 15 days as actions were being progressed. On 2 August, CMG started to audit the customer\u2019s account. This is a complex piece of work, and it can take several weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the case. The MP contacted CMG on 31 August, 19 September and 16 October asking for a full response to be provided. On each occasion, CMG contacted the MP\u2019s office by email, explaining their investigations were ongoing and a full response would be provided once their investigations were concluded. On 18 October, CMG contacted the MP\u2019s office and confirmed a full response to the MP would be provided by Friday 20 October. I can confirm the response was issued to the MP\u2019s office on Thursday 19 October.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4513", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mims Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Sussex"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mims Davies"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-20T13:13:05.977Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Members: Correspondence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when his Department plans to respond to the correspondence of 19 July 2023, reference JK41078, from the hon.

As part of the Wales Act 2017, power for setting national speed limits was devolved to the Welsh Government.<\/p>

It is disappointing that the Welsh Government seems to be ignoring its own impact assessments, which suggest a £4.5 billion hit to the Welsh economy.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of access to local green spaces including allotments in enabling and supporting healthy lifestyles within our communities. The National Planning Policy Framework is clear that that local planning policies should be based on robust and up-to-date assessments of the need for open space and opportunities for new provision, which can include allotments, and their plans should then seek to accommodate this. The National Model Design Code states that as part of open space design for large developments there should be the consideration of allotments and community growing projects for food production, learning and community engagement.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to empowering communities to shape what happens in their local area and to work together to improve their neighbourhoods including projects which support pride of place and local growing spaces.<\/p>

<\/p>

Natural England launched the Green Infrastructure Framework: Principles and Standards for England in January 2023. This will help local planning authorities and developers to create or improve green and blue infrastructure, particularly where provision is poorest. This could include community food growing alongside other greenspaces and environmental features.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4593", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Trudy Harrison"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Copeland"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Trudy Harrison"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-23T12:18:25.9Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Allotments: Urban Areas"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department is taking steps to help increase the level of allotment provision in urban areas.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4410", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julian Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Solihull"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Julian Knight"} ], "uin" : "200794"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1663178", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Energy Security and Net Zero"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1663178/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government recognises the threats posed by invasive species, including Japanese knotweed, and has a comprehensive Great Britain Non-native Species Strategy designed to co-ordinate action to tackle these threats.\u202f\u202fDefra funds biocontrol research to tackle Japanese knotweed. It is hoped that this will provide a cost and time effective way of managing this species. This research has identified the psyllid Aphalari itadori,<\/em> (a sap-sucking insect), as a biological control agent for tackling\u202fJapanese\u202fKnotweed. Information about the research can be found on\u202fthe\u202fJapanese\u202fKnotweed\u202fAlliance website.<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Local Action Groups, with support from Government, are actively involved in reducing and eradicating Japanese knotweed.<\/p>

<\/p>

Japanese knotweed is listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which makes it an offence to allow the plant to escape or cause it to grow in the wild. The Government has developed guidance on how to prevent the spread of Japanese knotweed and other harmful weeds, as well as how to treat and dispose of them, which can be found on GOV.UK:<\/p>

How to stop invasive non-native plants from spreading - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/a><\/p>
