Written Question
Aviation: HIV Infection
Monday 29th January 2018

Asked by: Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will respond to Early Day Motion 827 on HIV and UK aviation.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Department welcomes the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) call for a change in the current regulations and their decision to issue initial Class 1 Medical certificates with a restriction to multi-pilot operations to applicants wishing to become commercial pilots, subject to the applicants passing their Class 1 Medical assessment. The CAA has often led aviation regulatory changes that have enabled pilots with medical conditions to keep flying, and I welcome their continued efforts to see a permanent change to the current regulations at the European level.

Written Question
High Speed 2 Railway Line
Thursday 24th March 2016

Asked by: Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to protect ancient woodland along the route of High Speed 2.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

HS2 Ltd has sought to design HS2 to avoid environmental impacts, including those on ancient woodlands, wherever reasonably practicable. Where this is not possible mitigation or compensation measures will be undertaken.

High Speed Two Information paper E2: Ecological Impact, outlines how ecological impacts have been assessed and how they will be mitigated or compensated for during construction of the proposed scheme. To compensate for the unavoidable loss of ancient woodland, the nominated undertaker will use best practice measures such as re-using the ancient woodland soils. Furthermore, we are extending the Chilterns Tunnel to avoid impacts on the ancient woodlands at Mantles Wood, Farthings Wood and Sibley’s Coppice.
