	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2016 answer text <p>Both hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have the potential to play a significant role in decarbonising road transport. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses. FCEVs have range and refuelling times much closer to conventional vehicles. BEVs have higher efficiency, lower running cost and are more technologically and commercially mature.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has a technology neutral approach and we are supporting both FCEVs and BEVs, at their respective states of development Since 2012 We have been working with industry in the UK H2Mobility project to assess the opportunity for hydrogen for transport and to develop a strategy for the roll-out of refuelling infrastructure and FCEVs. UK H2Mobility published conclusions in 2013 analysis presented a scenario which despite significant challenges in the early years, showed that there were longer term benefits of using hydrogen for transport in terms of the environment, the economy and energy security. Since its publication UK H2Mobility has continued to keep the hydrogen for transport opportunity under review and exchange information amongst the early actors in this emerging market.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 30/06/2016 11:16:32 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government works with local authorities and the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) to provide advice and promote best practice on waste and recycling. The UK Recycling rate has increased from 11% at the turn of the century, to 44.9% in 2014.

In addition the Government, through the Waste Infrastructure Delivery Programme, has allocated some £3 billion in grant funding to a number of local authority waste infrastructure projects.
