Caroline Russell: Campaigners tell me that HS2 Ltd is creating barriers to cycling, where a rebuilt bridge is proposed at Old Oak Common leaving it too narrow to permit cycleways. Will you use your influence via Transport for London (TfL) and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) to deliver protected cycle facilities along the length of Old Oak Common Lane and ensure any works by HS2 Ltd,...
Caroline Spelman: ...offsetting is going to be enormous because of the scale of the project. Given that the ancient woodlands are now suffering multiple attacks, from Chalara in the case of the ash to sudden oak death syndrome—oak and ash are certainly significantly affected—might there be an opportunity here from the perspective of the CPRE to do some subsequent planting in some of our woodlands, so...
Caroline Flint: I can assure my hon. Friend that the provision extends to breeding establishments. I commend her and others who supported the Hall family at Darley Oaks during many years of terrifying attacks and protests against them. Many hon. Members are aware of the attack on the grave of a family member not so long ago.
Caroline Dinenage: The hon. Gentleman represents Birmingham beautifully—Selly Oak and also other parts of Birmingham, as we have learned today. He makes a good point.
Caroline Pidgeon: Are you confident in OPDC spending public money when there are several significant risks and unresolved issues on the site including: the loss of the Car Giant site; the uncertainty surrounding Old Oak North station due to the HS2 review and potential skills shortages in the construction industry?
Caroline Pidgeon: TfL’s website currently states in the year 2019/20: Amersham, Burnt Oak, Cockfosters, Debden, Hanger Lane, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Ickenham, Mill Hill East, Northolt, Osterley, Sudbury Hill and Wimbledon Park will become step free. For each of the stations please state the actual month this year when step free access will start to operate.
Caroline Spelman: ...over £300,000 of directly held cinema group shares. In addition the Commissioners have indirect investment exposure to cinemas via property holdings in the Metrocentre, Bluewater and Cheshire Oaks retail shopping centres, all of which contain cinemas. Finally, the Commissioners have identified a very small indirect exposure to a cinema in our UK private equity portfolio.
Caroline Russell: A constituent has contacted me raising concerns about Southwark Council’s proposals to fell two ancient Oak trees in Sydenham Hill Woods. They ask if you will write to Southwark Council asking them to remove the felling notices against the two trees with immediate effect and engage in a proper period of consultation and dialogue with the local community about the right approach?
Caroline Pidgeon: In terms of your priorities, stakeholder engagement, genuine stakeholder engagement must surely be the key one, but the Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum has told us that you have failed to listen and genuinely engage with the community. To David: why have you not adopted all the recommendations from the May 2016 review of OPDC, which included setting up regular forums outside the Board?
Caroline Pidgeon: TfL’s Programme and Investment committee papers for 11 December 2020 state that three long promised step free schemes at Hanger Lane, Burnt Oak and Northolt are currently paused pending a further review, following the financial considerations of the coronavirus pandemic. Please set out the timescale for this review. Please also explain why past claims published on TfL’s website that...
Caroline Pidgeon: It has been reported in the media that the manufacturer Bombardier is removing two trailer vehicles from selected electric multiple units (EMUs) at Old Oak Common, before the EMU are transferred to Ilford. It is further reported that the trailers are being moved by road to Worksop for storage at Harry Needle Railroad Company’s facillity. How much has it cost to date to a) shorten the trains...

Caroline Lucas: The Forestry Commission’s strategy stated clearly that recent outbreaks of tree health problems, such as oak processionary moth, underline the need to maintain an experienced team of pathologists and entomologists capable of carrying out both strategic research and “fire brigade” investigations of new problems. Will the Minister therefore rule out any new cuts to DEFRA and its agencies...
Caroline Lucas: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak of 23 January 2013, Official Report, column 340W, on housing, what estimate he has made of the amount of supported and sheltered accommodation that falls outside the definition of supported exempt accommodation; for what reasons all supported and sheltered housing is not...
Caroline Pidgeon: ...state the reasons why step free access was not completed at Cockfosters, Amersham, Ickenham, Wimbledon Park, Debden, Osterley, Hanger Lane, Northolt, Sudbury Hill, Harrow-on-the Hill and Burnt Oak London Underground stations by the end of 2019/2020 despite TfL website stating as recently as February 2020 that they would become step free by the end of 2019/2020. Further to your answer in...
Caroline Pidgeon: TfL’s response to the consultation on two new London Overground stations in the Old Oak Common area stated on the 19th December 2018: ‘Funding remains a significant constraint in delivering these proposals. We are currently seeking to establish a package of funding that could enable the stations to be delivered by 2026 alongside the new HS2 and Elizabeth line station.” Please provide a...
Caroline Lucas: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will assess the effect of locating the London terminus of High Speed 2 at (a) Euston and (b) Old Oak Common on (i) journey times and convenience for (1) HS2 and (2) underground and overground passengers, (ii) the cost of stations and connections, (iii) the cost of the HS2 link, (iv) housing, (v) noise levels, (vi) air pollution, (vii) loss of...
Caroline Russell: ...the world’s largest solarâpowered bridge and it provides 50% of the station’s energy needs. It is a really good example. You mentioned you have managed to get solar at Whitechapel and at Old Oak, but there are a lot of recent station redevelopments like Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon Underground and Paddington Station, for example, where there are very few solar panels included....
Caroline Dinenage: I thank the honourable—I seem to be test-driving someone else’s teeth today, Mr Austin. I thank the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak for raising the issue and facilitating an important discussion. I have absolutely no doubt of his dedication and good intentions in the matter. I wish to offer him some reassurance, because the Bill already requires that an approved mental capacity...
