Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to instruct National Highways and Nottinghamshire County Council to take a preventative stance on dangerous driving.
Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government recognises the importance of preventing dangerous driving and ensuring the safety of all road users. Enforcement of driving offences is a matter for the police; however, National Highways works closely with police forces across the Midlands to maintain safety on the Strategic Road Network. It engages regularly with local authorities and police to deliver targeted safety improvements. It also takes a proactive stance on prevention by promoting safe driving through its road safety website, national campaigns such as “Go Left” and “T.R.I.P.” and electronic message signs.

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she is taking steps to improve reliability of broadband connection in the Bramcote area.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
The government is committed to delivering nationwide gigabit coverage by 2032. Full-fibre technology will provide consumers with a faster but also more stable and reliable connection. People in the Bramcote area rightly expect to have the broadband connectivity they need to participate in the modern digital economy.
All communication providers, including those who operate in Bramcote, are subject to statutory obligations to ensure their networks and services remain available. They must take appropriate and proportionate measures to prepare for and reduce the risks of disruption occurring and report significant incidents to Ofcom, who have powers to investigate, enforce remedial measures and fine communications providers.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to encourage housing associations work with local councils on an agreed anti-social behaviour protocol.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets. Social landlords have a range of powers and tools to tackle anti-social behaviour and we expect them to use those powers promptly and proportionately, working with local agencies to put the needs of victims at the heart of their response.
The Neighbourhood and Community Standard, which can be found on gov.uk here, requires registered providers of social housing to work in partnership with appropriate local authority departments, the police and other relevant organisations to deter and tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) and hate incidents in the neighbourhoods where they provide social housing. They must also have policies in place setting out how they will do this.
Providers are also required to collect and publish data on the Tenant Satisfaction Measures, including tenants’ satisfaction with their landlord’s approach to handling anti-social behaviour. This ensures that tenants and other interested parties can hold registered providers to account for the services they provide.
In addition, the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review brings together partner agencies such as the police, councils and social landlords to investigate tenants’ complaints about ASB and to make sure they have been dealt with properly.

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps the Government is taking to support charities to increase availability of guide dogs in Nottinghamshire.
Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)
The UK government recognises the invaluable role guide dogs play in enhancing the independence and quality of life for individuals with visual impairments and hearing loss.
Assistance dogs are not funded or provided by the government. Direct provision of guide dogs is primarily handled by charitable organisations. Organisations like Assistance Dogs UK (ADUK), an umbrella coalition for well-established dog training organisations, offer information and advice on how to apply for an assistance dog.
As assistance dogs are provided by independent charities and organisations, the Government is not responsible or accountable for supply issues. We are aware of concerns around shortages of assistance dogs since the pandemic and there has been dialogue with assistance dogs charities. Guide Dogs UK have assured us that they are on course to return to pre-pandemic supply levels soon, and are working hard to reduce waiting times with record levels of investment.
