answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>We are supporting the development of residential chargrepoint infrastructure through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) (£500 off cost of installation); and we plan to consult as soon as possible on changes to building regulations to ensure every new home in England has a chargepoint where appropriate. The EVHS grant is designed to help private plug-in vehicle owners offset some of the upfront cost of the purchase and installation of a dedicated domestic recharging unit. It is available for people living in flats, as long as they meet all of the eligibility criteria of the scheme, which can be found in the EVHS guidance for customers online. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Governments have launched a consultation to review the provision of chargepoint infrastructure as part of the Law Commission’s work to review and reinvigorate the commonhold tenure in England and Wales.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/05/2019 14:35:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

This is to allow for the option of deploying the contraflow at short notice during times of cross-Channel disruption, caused by bad weather or industrial action, for example.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England are responsible for operational decisions regarding the strategic road network in England, which includes the M20 in Kent. Decisions regarding significant changes to this road network – such as the removal of the barrier or the use of lanes on the M20 carriageways – are made on their advice and by taking into consideration the safety and convenience of all road users.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/05/2019 12:44:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
