I am able to tell my hon. Friend that officials in the Department are already working with Chiltern on looking at how we deal with those issues. I know that the rail Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Bexhill and Battle (Huw Merriman), will be delighted to meet him to give him more detail of the work already under way so that we can deliver a better service for his constituents.

I agree with the hon. Gentleman about the importance of airspace modernisation, which is exactly why we are getting on with it. I have had recent discussions with National Air Traffic Services on the work it is doing and discussions with the Civil Aviation Authority. That work is under way, and we are looking at it in the UK, but also working with our international partners to make sure this plays a part in decarbonisation. It was something I discussed in the US when I co-chaired a summit with the US Transportation Secretary, and we talked about these issues with important players in the aviation sector globally.

My hon. Friend is right to point out that we currently view costs as sitting with the DFT and revenue as sitting with the Treasury. This can make it harder to increase services, even when extra revenue can be assured, because costs at the DFT cannot increase. He can be assured that the Chief Secretary to the Treasury and I spoke yesterday about how we can grow services and revenues with one profit and loss statement. I am also working with the train operators to amend their contracts, so they can be the parties that take the risk and get a greater share of the reward.

As the hon. Lady will know, I have already outlined the support that we have been giving and the warm interest we take in hydrogen, so I am very interested to hear what she says. If she could bear to send me the details, I will make sure that I or the relevant Minister responds to her.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question. We had a Westminster Hall debate on this a few months ago. As he will know, the UK policy on public service obligations is to protect existing routes in danger of being lost, and the DFT jointly funds routes into London from Newquay, Dundee and Derry/Londonderry. Lord Hendy's independent Union connectivity review has now been lodged. We have welcomed it, and we will continue to consider the ways in which PSOs can help the Government to achieve regional connectivity needs.

The hon. Lady is right to focus on this. That is why the Government published our cross-Government “Tackling violence against women and girls strategy”, which the Department for Transport is fundamentally involved with. Since 2019 the BTP, which the hon. Lady mentioned specifically, has enhanced its approach to combating violence against women and girls, complemented by the BTP chief constable's personal commitment and drive on this subject.

My hon. Friend might know that I visited Devon previously as a roads Minister and saw its innovative work on potholes. The Government are investing £5 billion in local highways maintenance outside London, with mayoral combined authorities receiving CRSTS funding. Each local highway authority decides how to spend the money but must account locally for it.

I congratulate Luton Town. My family supports them, both during good times and bad. I also thank the hon. Lady for showing me around Luton station. Access for All funding is coming to put lifts in by next year; any delays will not be signed off. Work on leaking platforms 1 and 2 starts August 2023 and completes early 2024.

Heathrow is economically regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), including charge caps. The CAA published its 2022-2026 settlement in March, and the Competition and Markets Authority considers appeals against that decision. We aim to publish an independent review of the CAA by summer.

That specific case should not have happened, but I will make sure the roads Minister looks at it. Generally, medical cases are delayed due to pandemic and industrial action impacts; we aim to resolve these issues soon.

In 2021, National Highways was asked to study possible interventions around the M65 at Colne. The study concluded in 2022 and findings were handed over to Lancashire County Council and Transport for the North.

The table has an offer on it; union members have not voted. The deal is on the table and unions should put it to their members.

The roads Minister is happy to meet my hon. Friend. Norfolk County Council has completed a feasibility study and committed funds for further development of the scheme.

The decision about whether to build a third runway is one for Heathrow. The funding has to come from Heathrow. A significant process has to get under way if it wants to proceed, and the Government would wait with interest to see whether it does so.

The part of the A38 has a high collision rate. National Highways consulted on proposed safety improvements and continues to develop its plans in light of feedback received. We will encourage it to accelerate that work.

It is difficult to make policy based on anecdote. If he has specific examples and evidence, I would be delighted if he wrote to me or the roads Minister.

The Government have introduced initiatives including Street Manager and regulatory changes designed to improve efficiency of how such works are carried out and coordinated.

If regulatory issues are preventing that from happening, I would be delighted to look into those. If he raises them on behalf of the APPG, I would be delighted to hear from him.

The Government is not taking any action to increase congestion. Many schemes, for example active travel schemes, actually reduce it.
