    Stephen Barclay – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture Media and Sport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Barclay on 2014-07-15.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of how many premises in Cambridgeshire will benefit from the Mobile Infrastructure Project.

    Mr Edward Vaizey

    We expect that over 150 premises in Cambridgeshire will benefit from the Mobile Infrastructure Project. The build of all masts under the Mobile Infrastructure Project is dependent on a number of unknown factors for each potential mast, including finding a willing landlord for the mast and obtaining planning permission.

    Stephen Barclay – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture Media and Sport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Barclay on 2014-07-15.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, When he expects the mobile infrastructure project to be completed.

    Mr Edward Vaizey

    The news release issued on MIP in July last year referred to sites being acquired and built by 2015. Intensive work is continuing to deliver coverage to areas currently without, and this project remains a high priority for the Government. Providing coverage to some of the more remote and sensitive locations has been challenging but this project has brought together the four mobile network operators for the first time to find solutions. Proposals and timeframes to tackle these issues and to secure long term mobile coverage capabilities for the future are being finalised with further communications expected in the autumn.

    Stephen Barclay – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Barclay on 2014-03-27.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate his Department has made of the cost per mile of building cycle lanes; and what steps he is taking to reduce this cost in rural areas.

    Mr Robert Goodwill

    The Department does not estimate the cost per mile of building cycle lanes. Cycling infrastructure varies in design and cost due to the location and scheme design. The provision of cycling facilities is a matter for local authorities and as such they are best placed to determine the spend per mile for building cycle lanes. The Department does provide best practice information in cycle infrastructure design through its publication Cycle Infrastructure Design (Local Transport Note 2/08). The Department encourages local authorities, both in urban and rural areas, to obtain best value in the provision of highways infrastructure.

    Stephen Barclay – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Barclay on 2014-04-09.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions there have been for the offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving since its introduction in 2012; and what the average length of sentence handed out by the courts for that offence is.

    Jeremy Wright

    The maximum penalty for causing serious injury by dangerous driving is 5 years custody. Since the introduction of this offence on 3 December 2012, 1 person has been proceeded against at, found guilty and sentenced at a magistrates’ court in England and Wales in 2012. There is too small a sample to provide a meaningful average custodial sentence length. We are keeping the law in this area under review. If any changes are needed, we will bring forward proposals.

    Court proceedings data for this offence for 2013 are planned for publication in May 2014 as part of the Criminal Justice Statistics 2013 publication. Please note that this data presents the principal offences under which a defendant has been proceeded against. If a defendant has been proceeded against for two or more offences it is the offence with the higher or highest maximum penalty that is selected.

    Stephen Barclay – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Barclay on 2014-04-30.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 February 2014, Official Report, column 237W, on large goods vehicles: speed limits, what progress has been made on the Government’s further impact assessment of increasing the speed limit for hauliers from 40mph to 50mph.

    Stephen Hammond

    Ministers are giving careful consideration to any potential impacts of raising the speed limit for HGVs over 7.5t from 40mph to 50 mph on single carriageway roads and a further impact assessment has been undertaken as part of that process.

    I want to make sure careful consideration is given to the evidence of all of the effects of raising the speed limit; on the economy, environment and road safety before a decision is made. I will consider the responses received and evidence presented before publishing a Response Report and impact assessment on our website.

    Steve Barclay – 2022 Comments on 39 Locations Applying for City Status

    The comments made by Steve Barclay, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 4 January 2022. The list of locations is available at https://www.ukpol.org.uk/2022/01/04/39-locations-apply-for-jubilee-city-status/.

    Today’s announcement is a celebration of the rich and diverse communities which make up not only the United Kingdom, but also our friends further afield in the Falklands, Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands.

    It’s fitting that, as we look towards celebrating the 70 year reign of Her Majesty the Queen, we extend the competition to include those parts of the world which also hold her so dearly.

    City status is not only about local pride, it can deliver real levelling up benefits for businesses and the local area which is clear from the high number of applications. A sincere best of luck to all those who have applied.

    Steve Barclay – 2021 Comments on Location of National Cyber Force

    The comments made by Steve Barclay, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 3 October 2021.

    The National Cyber Force is at the cutting edge of our country’s defence.

    Basing the campus at Samlesbury in Lancashire will bring high skilled and well paid jobs to the area, building on our drive to move key public sector roles outside of London.

    It underlines this government’s important levelling up agenda and our commitment to spread opportunity across the country.
