	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s mission is to put the UK at the forefront of the design and manufacturing of zero emission vehicles, and for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) has a range of grant-funded schemes to assist with the cost of purchasing ultra low and zero emission vehicles and the installation of charging infrastructure in motorists’ homes, on residential streets, at work places, car parks and the wider public estate.</p><p>Motorists of zero and ultra low emission vehicle also benefit from a tax regime that rewards the cleanest vehicles. The Government is investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles and schemes to support chargepoint infrastructure. The Road to Zero Strategy, published in July last year, sets out a clear pathway to zero emissions, to give clarity and certainty to both industry and motorists.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:21:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department has no current plans to reintroduce national road safety targets.</p><p>There is no robust academic evidence to indicate that the setting of any targets in the UK would contribute to progress in road casualty reduction. In fact there has been a stalling of progress in road casualty reductions across many economically advanced countries, including in countries with targets (e.g. Sweden and the Netherlands).</p><p>The 2015 Road Safety statement sets out the Department for Transport’s overall principles and priorities in relation to British road safety. Local authorities, the police and other bodies are free to set their own road safety targets if they wish.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:17:51 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	uin	251276
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>Global Navigation Satellite System approaches are one element of performance based navigation (PBN). An amendment to EU Regulation 1178/2011 (the Aircrew Regulation), which came into force in 2018, provides that pilots may only fly in accordance with PBN procedures if they hold an instrument rating with PBN privileges. The Aircrew Regulation establishes the training required to obtain PBN privileges. From 25 August 2020, all applicants for an instrument rating will be required to have undertaken PBN training.</p><p> </p><p>Training requirements will be reviewed as and when the carriage and use of other new technologies are mandated. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority is continuing to engage with the European Aviation Safety Agency to expand training on the use of satellite based technology to help reduce airspace infringements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:24:03 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
