answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2022 answer text <p>E10 has been the industry agreed standard for petrol since 2013, and the reference fuel against which new cars are tested for emissions and performance since 2016. The impact assessment published alongside the Motor Fuel (Composition and Content) and the Biofuel (Labelling) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2021, which introduced E10, estimates that the change from E5 unleaded petrol to E10 is expected to reduce CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions by around 0.7 to 0.8 megatonnes per year. Switching from E5 to E10 is understood to have a relatively small impact on fuel economy of around 1-2 % and this was factored into the impact assessment. There are many factors that influence fuel consumption, making the effect of E10 difficult to assess on the basis of anecdotal evidence or monitoring. The Regulations mandating E10 petrol across Great Britain came into force just last September and will be the subject of a regulatory review considering its impacts, conducted within five years.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 02/03/2022 11:23:19 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>Neither the Department for Transport (DfT) nor the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) hold this information. As North Sea helicopter movements are non-scheduled, operators do not provide flight data to the CAA. Only the operators themselves will know how many flights they cancelled or postponed because of the three storms.</p><p><br> Flight operations in the North Sea are frequently subject to extreme weather conditions. Therefore, operators will have numerous standard operation procedures determining when they fly and when they don’t.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 28/02/2022 11:53:13 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>We want people across the country to have the opportunity to make the move to electric vehicles (EVs). Most EV drivers choose to charge their cars at home overnight or at work. For those without access or undertaking longer journeys, public charging is important.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is supporting local authorities to deploy chargepoints for their residents without access to off-street parking. The On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) is available to all UK local authorities and has so far awarded funding to over 142 different local authorities to install over 6,500 chargepoints. This year, funding of £20 million will allow installation of slow and fast chargepoints, including those installed in lampposts.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Office for Zero Emission Vehicle’s (OZEV) ‘on-street’ research and development programme is providing £30 million to deliver low-cost, scalable charging solutions for the UK’s 8 million households (such as terraced houses) without off-street parking. We have also funded companies delivering lamppost charging, as well as pop-up chargepoints to reduce street clutter.</p><p> </p><p>Government is continually supporting the development of innovative charging solutions, including exploring ‘channel solutions’ such as under pavement wires. For example, OZEV have provided funding through Innovate UK to Oxford City Council to develop and test their gulley solution.</p><p> </p><p>Government will publish its forthcoming EV Infrastructure Strategy soon.

uin	128239
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government has put in place a comprehensive package of measures to make it easier and cheaper to switch to a zero emission vehicle. Building on the £1.9 billion from Spending Review 2020, the Government has committed an additional £620 million to support this transition. The additional funding will support the rollout of charging infrastructure, with a particular focus on local on-street residential charging, and targeted plug-in vehicle grants.</p><p> </p><p>This year, the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme will be reformed to provide additional help for people living in rented and leasehold accommodation and the Workplace Charging Scheme will be opened to small accommodation business and the charity sector. This will help to accelerate electric vehicle uptake in rural areas and support the UK tourist industry. For those without access to off-street parking, the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme, which is available to all UK local authorities will help to provide public chargepoints for their residents. This year, £20 million is available under the scheme to ensure more local authorities and residents can benefit.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Last year Government introduced legislation requiring all new or majorly renovated buildings in England to have chargepoints if there is associated parking. Government does not intend to stop here and recently consulted on chargepoint provision in existing car parks as well.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Later this year we will launch our new Local EV Infrastructure Fund (LEVI). This will facilitate the rollout of larger-scale chargepoint infrastructure projects across England for local areas.</p><p> </p><p>In May 2020, we published an ambitious vision for rapid charging infrastructure along strategic roads in England. The Government will invest £950 million through the Rapid Charging Fund (RCF) in future proofing grid capacity at motorway and major A road service areas to prepare the network for uptake of zero emission cars and vans ahead of need. The RCF will ensure they have the connections to meet future demand for high powered chargepoints.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 28/02/2022 11:33:58 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

The consultation generated significant evidence, including on criteria RCFs must meet, and we will be publishing a further targeted consultation later this year. In addition, a government response on proposals to reward renewable fuels from non-biological origin, such as hydrogen, more flexibly under the RTFO will be published shortly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 28/02/2022 11:31:29 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
