	question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June to Question 150632 on Motor Vehicles: Hydrogen, whether the difference between his Government’s allocation of £30 million for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle refuelling and £200 million for battery electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund reflects a departmental preference on future transport choices.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text The government’s approach to future transport choices is technology neutral and we seek to encourage different forms of technology wherever available. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are zero emission vehicles and have the potential to play a significant role, alongside battery electric vehicles, in improving air quality and decarbonising road transport. The development and deployment of FCEVs is at an earlier stage than for battery electric vehicles, and policy measures reflect differing levels of market maturity. answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 15/06/2018 09:38:39 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text The Government recognises the problems caused by disposable cups, which are difficult to recycle and often littered. At Budget 2018, the Government concluded that a levy on all cups would not at this point deliver a decisive shift from disposable cups to reusable cups across all beverage types. This conclusion is based on the submissions made to the government during the call for evidence on single use plastic waste and examining alternatives to current single-use cups containing plastic.<p> </p><p>The Government expects industry to go further in taking action on disposable plastic cups and will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made. The Government is also considering the case for reducing the environment impact of disposable cups within a reformed Packaging Producer Responsibility system and a potential Deposit Return Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 04/03/2019 10:51:48 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
