§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) when he28W expects each of the subsidiary documents referred to in the White Paper, A New Deal For Transport, to be published; [58527]
(2) when the publications listed in annex A of A New Deal for Transport will be published. [58698]
§ Mr. PrescottThe Government will launch their consultation on road user charging and the workplace parking levy shortly. In the following months we intend to issue further daughter documents on sustainable distribution, local transport plans, shipping, buses, road safety and inland waterways. We will also be issuing a paper on ports policy. In many of the documents we will be consulting on detailed aspects of policy, and we therefore intend to issue the documents in an orderly way so as not to overburden consultees and so as to encourage full and considered responses.
Of the other relevant documents listed in Annex A, the response to the Royal Commission and the consultation paper on climate change have already been published. An action plan to encourage walking will be published shortly. The remaining documents—a report on the review of national air quality strategy, a revised strategy for sustainable development, consultation on draft or updated planning guidance, and progress reports from the Cleaner Vehicles Task Force—will follow over the next few months.
