uin	37545
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text <p>Plug-in vehicles are generally charged at home and overnight, and so the Government provides grants of up to £500 for the installation of domestic chargepoints. More than 60,000 have been installed to date. The UK also has over 11,000 publicly accessible chargepoints; in streets, car parks and motorway service areas. This includes almost 900 rapid chargepoints that can charge a car in 20-30 minutes – the largest network in Europe.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s Roads Investment Strategy includes funding of £15m to improve the network of chargepoints on the strategic road network, and the <em>Go Ultra Low</em> city scheme is expected to deliver around 750 more publicly accessible chargepoints in UK towns and cities by 2020. We will announce further targeted support for plug-in vehicle chargepoints in due course.</p><p> </p><p>Government-funded chargepoints must meet a minimum common standard for chargepoint outlets, and include ‘pay as you go’ functionality.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 27/05/2016 08:44:10 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending the Blue Badge concession to include off-street parking.

uin	37546
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>We have no plans to extend Blue Badge concessions to off-street parking. The scheme is designed to ensure that disabled people can find suitable parking on public roads – whether it be in bays, at meters or on yellow lines – close to where they need to go. Off-street parking is a completely different matter; these are often privately owned and their terms of use are a matter for the car park owners, but disabled parking bays are usually available.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 26/05/2016 13:43:07 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text <p>The Department’s annual survey of local bus operators was amended in 2013/14 to include a question on the number of buses providing audio/visual information.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, statistics should be produced to a level of quality that meets users’ need. To date, the statistics relating to this question have not been published by the Department because of concerns about the robustness of the data.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, as part of it’s statistical quality management process, will take steps to improve the quality of the audio/visual data. Once these quality concerns are met so that what is produced does not risk misleading users, the Department will look to publish the information, in line with the majority of data collected through the local bus survey.</p><p> </p><p>The Government, therefore, does not consider it necessary to legislate on this issue through the Bus Services Bill.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 27/05/2016 08:36:29 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
