To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Sugg on 15 January, whether the use of cycle lanes can be limited to peak commuting times of the day.
The provision of cycling infrastructure, including cycle lanes, is a matter for local traffic authorities. Mandatory cycle lanes, indicated by a solid white line, can operate at all times or at specific times of day. It is for the local authority to decide on hours of operation.

It is long established Government policy not to comment upon matters of personal protective security and their associated costs. Disclosure of such information could compromise the integrity of those arrangements and affect the security of the individuals concerned.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the reply by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 30 November (HL Deb, col 931–3) about the non-devolution of the long-haul element of air passenger duty to Wales, how they differentiate between Edinburgh and Newcastle, and Cardiff and Bristol with respect to state aid.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the reply by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 30 November (HL Deb, col 931–3) about the non-devolution of the long-haul element of air passenger duty to Wales, how they differentiate between Edinburgh and Newcastle, and Cardiff and Bristol with respect to state aid.
As set out in the St David’s Day Agreement, the government is considering the case and options for devolving powers to the Welsh Assembly over air passenger duty (APD). Any next steps pursued by the government will comply with EU State aid rules on tax devolution.
Discussion of State aid is relevant to options we are considering to mitigate the effects of APD devolution with respect to English airports. In July, the government published a discussion paper on several options to do this. We will respond to the consultation and announce next steps in due course.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they propose to reduce the length or cost of the visa application process in order to facilitate the entry to the United Kingdom of Russian entertainers, artists and their supporters participating in the United Kingdom–Russia Year of Culture 2014.[HL4121]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they propose to reduce the length or cost of the visa application process in order to facilitate the entry to the United Kingdom of Russian entertainers, artists and their supporters participating in the United Kingdom–Russia Year of Culture 2014.[HL4121]
UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) recently expanded the scope of the priority visa service in Russia so that those seeking to enter the UK to participate in the Year of Culture will be able to avail themselves of this service (which sees applications processed within three days of receipt by UKVI).
The average processing time for a non-settlement visa in Russia was nine days during the first half of 2013, well under our 15 day service standard.
There are no plans to reduce visa fees for those involved in the Year of Culture.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they have decided to devolve the control of Air Passenger Duty to the Northern Ireland Assembly but not the National Assembly for Wales, in the light of the Silk Commission's recommendations.[HL4250]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they have decided to devolve the control of Air Passenger Duty to the Northern Ireland Assembly but not the National Assembly for Wales, in the light of the Silk Commission's recommendations.[HL4250]
The Government has devolved direct long-haul rates of air passenger duty (APD) to the Northern Ireland Assembly. This takes into account the unique position of Northern Ireland, which is the only part of the UK sharing a land border with another EU Member State, which has a lower rate of aviation tax.
As set out in the response to the Silk Commission, the Government is not convinced of the case for devolving APD to Wales given the potential effects across the country as a whole. In particular, a report published by HMRC in 2012 highlighted that different rates either side of the Wales/England border would be likely to lead to market distortions that redistributed passengers between airports without significantly increasing the overall demand within the UK.
