	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to reduce kilometres travelled by car by 20 per cent by 2030, (2) to end the sale of fossil fuel-powered cars and vans by 2030, (3) to end the sale of fossil fuel HGVs by 2035, and (4) to introduce road user charges.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2021 answer text <p>Our recently published ‘Decarbonising Transport: A Better, Greener Britain’ committed to delivering the necessary emissions reductions in road transport to reach net zero by 2050. It is not about stopping people doing things. Rather, we want to drive the transition to electric vehicles and put in place a range of alternatives for people to make more sustainable journeys.</p><p>As part of this, we are phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, and, from 2035, all new cars and vans must be zero emissions at the tailpipe. We are also consulting on phase out dates for the sale of new non-zero emission HGVs, which includes all fossil-fuelled HGVs, to ensure that our road freight fleet will be zero emission by 2050. The consultation closed on 3rd September and we are now considering responses.</p><p>Government has no current policy on introducing road user charges. As stated in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, as we move forward with the transition to zero emission vehicles, we will need to ensure that the tax system encourages the uptake of EVs and that revenue from motoring taxes keeps pace with this change, to ensure we can continue to fund the first-class public services and infrastructure that people and families across the UK expect.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 14/10/2021 10:49:25 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government when they last reviewed the fees paid to Accident Vehicle Recovery Operators; when the next such review will take place; and what assessment they have made of the proportion of the fee that is received by the recovery operator rather than management companies.
	tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
	uin	HL6961
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office conducted a consultation from 17 May – 10 September 2021 to assess the current statutory fees and whether new levels of charges should be applied to the removal, storage and disposal of vehicles in England and Wales. These charges apply where the police, under various acts of road traffic legislation, have cause to remove or recover a vehicle illegally, dangerously or obstructively parked, broken down or abandoned. This also includes the removal of vehicles being driven anti-socially or without insurance or driving licence and if they are being used in unlawful trespass.</p><p>We have now reviewed the statutory fees and are finalising arrangements to publish the Government Response to this consultation shortly.</p><p>No assessment has been made of the proportion of the statutory charging fee that is received by the recovery operator rather than the management companies.</p><p>The operation of recovery schemes and contracts used by the police and National Highways for vehicle recovery operations are matters between the police and individual recovery operators. The Government’s role is limited to setting the statutory charges which the Police and National Highways can levy when they have exercised their recovery powers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 29/03/2022 15:36:46 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the use of a segmented windscreen triple disc to indicate the date of expiry of MOT, insurance and road fund tax each separately.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government believes that the use of technology is a more effective way of preventing and detecting the unlawful use of untaxed, uninsured and untested vehicles. The police has access to the information held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and the insurance industry to allow them to check compliance at the roadside.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, there are no plans to introduce a windscreen disc to indicate the expiry date of MoT, insurance and vehicle excise duty.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 17/09/2018 13:30:18 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
