  • Lobbying for Western Rail and Southern Access to Heathrow Date: July 2020
    From: Val Shawcross, Chair HATF To: HATF Members and associated parties Title: Lobbying for Western Rail and Southern Access to Heathrow Date: July 2020 1. Introduction 1.1 The HATF Board have recently been considering how best to continue to lobby for delivery of the Western Rail Link to Heathrow (WRLtH) and Southern Access to Heathrow (SAtH) schemes. Regardless of whether the airport is expanded, the HATF Board consider both schemes are vital components for delivering a sustainable transport strategy that meets the needs of airport passengers, workers, and the wider region. 1.2 With Government reconsidering its spending priorities in light of the covid crisis, and the expansion programme facing its own uncertainty and delay, both schemes are now at a crucial juncture in their development; • The DCO for the Western Rail scheme was supposed to have been deposited last year, but without an agreed funding package the DCO has been repeatedly delayed. There now remains only a small window of opportunity to submit a DCO, before the scheme would need to undergo a new round of statuary consultation, something that would inevitably add further delay and costs to the programme. • The Southern Access Scheme is much further behind in its development. It is currently undefined beyond some high level modally agnostic objectives that were identified by the Government last year. However, since then there has been little obvious progress in identifying a preferred scheme and moving forward with its development and planning. 1.3 For these reasons, HATF have recently written to Grant Shapps the Secretary of State for Transport to remind him of the importance to which the HATF Board attach to both of these schemes.

  • UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 a Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020
    / UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 A Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020 / Cicero/AMO / 1 / / Contents Foreword 3 Treasury Select Committee 4 Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee 6 Work and Pensions Committee 8 Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union 10 International Trade Committee 12 Environmental Audit Committee 14 Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee 17 About Cicero/AMO 19 Foreword After December’s General Election, the House of Commons Select Committees have now been reconstituted. Cicero/AMO is pleased to share with you our analysis of the key Select Committees, including a look at their Chairs, members, the ‘ones to watch’ and their likely priorities. Select Committees – made up of backbench MPs – are charged with scrutinising Government departments and specific policy areas. They have become an increasingly important part of the parliamentary infrastructure, and never more so than in the last Parliament, where the lack of Government majority and party splits over Brexit allowed Select Committees to provide an authoritative form of Government scrutiny. However, this new Parliament looks very different. The large majority afforded to Boris Johnson in the election and the resulting Labour leadership contest give rise to a number of questions over Select Committee influence. Will the Government take Select Committee recommendations seriously as they form policy, or – without the need to keep every backbencher on side - will they feel at liberty to disregard the input of Committees? Will the Labour Party regroup when a new Leader is in place and provide a more effective Opposition or will a long period of navel-gazing leave space for Select Committees to fill this void? While Select Committees’ ability to effectively keep Government in check remains unclear, they will still be able to influence the media narrative around their chosen areas of inquiry.
