Asked by: Thelma Walker (Labour - Colne Valley)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his Department's timescale is for bringing forward legislation to ensure that disability equality training for taxi drivers becomes mandatory.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani

Written Question
Railway Stations: Access
Thursday 31st October 2019

Asked by: Thelma Walker (Labour - Colne Valley)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what criteria his Department uses to assess which train stations are eligible for disabled access upgrade.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani

The Access for All programme provides accessibility improvements over and above those required by the industry. Stations are selected for this funding against a range of criteria including annual footfall, the incidence of disability in the area, and the availability of third party funding for the project. We also take into account local factors such as proximity to a hospital. Stations are also chosen to ensure a fair geographical spread of projects across the country.

Written Question
Pets: Tagging
Monday 7th October 2019

Asked by: Thelma Walker (Labour - Colne Valley)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has plans to bring forward legislative proposals to require vet practices to scan and check microchip registration of dogs and cats on their first appointment to ensure that pet and owner match.

Answered by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

The Government agrees with the British Veterinary Association (BVA) that it is good practice for veterinary practices to scan dogs that are presented to them and particularly at the first appointment. However, the Government supports BVA’s position that vets should not be legally required to do so, due to the impact it could have on the vet-owner relationship. On 23 April 2019, the BVA met campaigners to discuss this issue. The BVA undertook to remind veterinary practices to scan dogs in line with best practice and help owners understand the importance of keeping their microchipping records up to date.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to page 19 of his Department's Main Estimates 2019-20 Memorandum, I - Housing & Planning (ALB)(Net) of Resource DEL – Communities, if he will publish details of the budgeted expenditure under the heading SO1 – Infrastructure for Housing.

The information provided below gives details of spending areas under each Strategic Objective as a whole, rather than broken down across Estimate Row. In the Main Estimate Explanatory Memorandum, Strategic Objectives are split across the Department’s Estimate Rows meaning that some Strategic Objectives appear under more than one Estimate Row.

The Department uses Strategic Objectives to allocate out budgets, monitor spend and delivery and report publicly. Under each Strategic Objective are a number of programmes which are made up of a number of Work Areas.

The Department’s budgets for both Programmes and the Work Areas that sit underneath each Programme, are kept under regular review and are revised where necessary to reflect changes in the operating environment. As such, the Department has not provided a further details of budget expenditure for each Work Area as budgets and structure may change during the year.

The Department notes that the level of budgeted expenditure detail provided in the Main Estimate Explanatory Memorandum is in line with guidance issued by the Scrutiny Unit.

Updated budgets for each Programme will be provided at the Supplementary Estimate later in the year.
