To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Department is taking steps to ensure that the potential impact of transport-related air pollution on people with cystic fibrosis and other respiratory conditions is considered in decisions on major transport infrastructure, including airport expansion and local traffic flows.

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review National Highways' management of major incidents, in light of the closure of the M25 on 16 July.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review National Highways' management of major incidents, in light of the closure of the M25 on 16 July.
National Highways routinely reviews the management of major incidents to identify lessons learned and opportunities for improvement. In relation to the closure of the M25 on 16 July 2026, National Highways will undertake both an internal debrief and contribute to multi-agency review processes involving the emergency services and other partners.
Major incidents on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) are managed through a multi-agency response led by the police. National Highways works in accordance with the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP) and the Collision, Lead, Evaluate, Act, Reopen (CLEAR) process and supports partners in delivering a coordinated response.
As part of the review process, National Highways will consider the tactical options available and deployed during the incident, including arrangements for traffic management, the release of trapped traffic where appropriate, and support for driver welfare. The review will identify what worked well and any areas where improvements can be made.
National Highways will share relevant lessons learned with operational partners and incorporate any agreed actions into future incident management arrangements. The Government is also supporting work to review local arrangements for driver welfare during major incidents.
There are no current plans to review either the CLEAR or JESIP processes which National Highway works in accordance with to clear incidents on the SRN.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any representations they have received which have called for legislation that requires drivers to stop, check and report any road collisions involving cats if they are injured on the road.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any representations they have received which have called for legislation that requires drivers to stop, check and report any road collisions involving cats if they are injured on the road.
Although there is no obligation to report all animal deaths on roads, drivers should, if possible, make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals, such as cats, and advise them of the situation.
There are, however, no plans to introduce a legal duty for drivers to report collisions with cats. Cats are much smaller than other specified animals, and often most active at dawn or dusk. In many cases drivers, especially those of larger vehicles, may not be aware they have hit them. As such, it would be difficult to prosecute drivers if the law was changed.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many defendants have successfully used the defence of automatism in cases arising from road traffic collisions in each of the last five years; and what assessment she has made of the impact of those cases on victims and their families.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many defendants have successfully used the defence of automatism in cases arising from road traffic collisions in each of the last five years; and what assessment she has made of the impact of those cases on victims and their families.
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on defendants dealt with at criminal courts in England and Wales for a variety of offences including road traffic offences in the Outcomes by Offence data tool, which can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics quarterly - GOV.UK.
However, information is not centrally held on the specific legal defences raised or successfully relied upon by defendants in criminal proceedings arising from road traffic collisions.
The Government recognises the profound impact and trauma experienced by victims and their families as a result of fatal or serious road traffic collisions. The Ministry of Justice has not made a specific assessment of the impact on victims and their families in cases where a defendant has raised or relied upon the defence of automatism.
In its 14th Programme of Law Reform, the Law Commission will consider – as part of its review of the law of insanity - the circumstances in which a person should not be criminally liable because of a mental condition at the time of an alleged offence. This will include consideration of the relationship between insanity and automatism.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending permitted development rights for development of roads within road corridors akin to those already in existence in rail corridors.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending permitted development rights for development of roads within road corridors akin to those already in existence in rail corridors.
There are already permitted development rights – set out in Part 9 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (England) 2015, as amended – which grant planning permission for development relating to roads.
We continue to keep permitted development rights under review.

The Department for Transport has not been consulted by the Home Office on the potential road safety implications of proposals to accommodate asylum seekers at MoD Bicester.
Local traffic management, including consideration of impacts on local roads such as the B4011, is a matter for the relevant local highway authority, Oxfordshire County Council. It would be for the Home Office, as the lead department for the proposals, to engage with the appropriate local authorities and other relevant bodies as necessary.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the operational benefits of using drones to provide police officers with real time aerial intelligence when responding to road traffic collisions, searches for criminal suspects and other emergency incidents.

What support she plans to provide to local authorities to help them adopt new technologies for tackling potholes and road defects.
What support she plans to provide to local authorities to help them adopt new technologies for tackling potholes and road defects.
The Government are providing local authorities with a record £7.3 billion investment in local road maintenance, giving councils the long-term certainty that they need to fix potholes, repair road defects and adopt a more preventive approach to maintenance. Some of the funding is being used to incentivise best practice and innovation. In addition, the Government have funded £30 million for Live Labs 2 programming, which is testing innovative materials, new technologies and maintenance techniques to help authorities improve road conditions while reducing costs and disruption.

Potholes are the bane of all our lives, including for my constituents, but I have a cunning plan: we could fix potholes much faster by tapping into the superpowers of bin men and women. Bin lorries travel every road every week. Why not equip them with cameras and AI-enabled technology, so that they can spot, map and log potholes immediately, as soon as they appear? That would significantly speed up the process of fixing them. This has been done very successfully in Australia. Will the Department for Transport work closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to ensure that local authorities have the funding and co-ordination needed to adopt this fantastic technology nationwide?

That is exactly why the Government have funded the £30 million for Live Labs 2. We want councils to have access to the best available evidence on the condition of their roads. We have introduced a new road conditioning monitoring standard that enables local authorities to use a range of approved technologies, including innovative AI-based systems, to collect consistent and reliable data.
