To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill, as currently drafted, will bind the Crown, and if not, why.
The Government is implementing the Law Commission’s recommendations in relation to the Crown.
The recommendation sets out that the Crown should remain exempt from statutory enfranchisement rights, provided it gives an undertaking to act by analogy with the new enfranchisement regime, except in certain special circumstances.
The effect will be that most leaseholders of the Crown will have the same opportunity to exercise enfranchisement rights as any other leaseholder.

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that transport policy meets the needs of young people aged 16 to 24.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that transport policy meets the needs of young people aged 16 to 24.
The Government is taking action to ensure young people can access work, education and apprenticeship opportunities, regardless of where they live. We have consistently invested in public transport to help make services more frequent, more reliable, cheaper and easier to use.
In 2019 we introduced the 16-17 Saver Railcard, extending the 50 per cent discount available to children for rail travel to their entire period of compulsory education and training. For students aged 18 and above, the 16-25 Railcard offers a third off most rail travel. In October, we announced that the £2 cap on single bus fares in England outside London would be extended until the end of 2024. Through the Plan for Drivers, we have also announced measures to help tackle the cost of driving.
We are committed to meeting the obligations of the Public Sector Equality Duty, including giving due consideration to the needs of different age cohorts.

To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of lamp columns on the M1 between junction 1 and junction 10 are out of light, how often lamp columns on motorways are inspected for such issues, and within what period of time they expect defective lamp columns on motorways to be repaired.
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of lamp columns on the M1 between junction 1 and junction 10 are out of light, how often lamp columns on motorways are inspected for such issues, and within what period of time they expect defective lamp columns on motorways to be repaired.
There are currently 11% of lighting columns out of order on the M1 between Junctions 1- 6A and, 30.7% between Junctions 6A -10. Lighting columns are inspected every 28 days, and the repair of any faults varies depending on the nature and priority of the fault(s) in question. A typical simple fault will in most cases be repaired within 14 days.
The lighting outages between M1 junctions 6a and 10 are the consequence of underground cable faults. Testing work is planned to take place in the next financial year, 2024-25, and will assess the condition of the cable network so that repairs can be prioritised alongside other asset needs.

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of (1) the total cost of construction at Old Oak Common Great Western rail station, and (2) the total time for construction from the beginning of works to the opening of the station for passengers.
Old Oak Common is being designed and built as a single, integrated station, with a budget of £1.67bn (Q3 2019). There is no separate cost for the conventional station.
