	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2021 answer text <p>The UK is committed to working with industry and international organisations to facilitate expanded manufacturing of affordable COVID-19 vaccines at scale. UK funding of £250 million to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and our £548 million contribution to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), supported vaccine development partnerships and procurement for global vaccines access respectively. We welcome that COVAX has convened a Supply Chains and Manufacturing Taskforce to identify immediate and longer-term actions for increasing the volume and security of global vaccine supply.</p><p>Building vaccine manufacturing capacity is a long term, capital intensive, and high-risk endeavour. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is working with the African Union and international partners, such as CEPI, Gavi, and the World Health Organisation (WHO), as well as development finance institutions and the private sector to catalyse investments for vaccine manufacturing in Africa. The UK contributed to the development of the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine. AZ produces the vaccine at scale through global manufacturing partnerships, and provides it at a non-profit price to low and middle-income countries.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 27/05/2021 09:37:28 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The method for estimating emissions from road transport, including powered two wheelers, is available in the latest National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory’s (NAEI) informative inventory report: <a href="https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/assets/documents/reports/cat09/1904121008_GB_IIR_2019_v2.0.pdf" target="_blank">https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/assets/documents/reports/cat09/1904121008_GB_IIR_2019_v2.0.pdf</a>. It uses the internationally recognised COPERT methodology produced by Emisia and if the abatement technology is already incorporated in the emission factor, then it will be reflected in the emissions estimates. Emission factors are presented in the EMEP/EEA Guidebook. The NAEI results for 2017 show that motorcycles and mopeds account for less than 0.5% of road traffic NOx emissions. The NAEI is subject to rigorous international reviews and has a continuous improvement programme to incorporate the latest available evidence.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 05/11/2019 17:49:32 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
