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 12/06/2018 answer text <p><em>To support British households and businesses, at Autumn Budget 2017, the government froze fuel duty for the eighth successive year. Since public finances are based on the assumption that fuel duty will increase with RPI at every Budget, any increase below this represents a cost to the Exchequer. Successive freezes since 2011 have saved the average driver £620 compared to what it would have been with RPI increases. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Since 2011, the announced freezes to fuel duty have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19. For the purposes of comparison, this is around twice as much as we spend on all NHS nurses and doctors each year.”</em></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/06/2018 16:55:08 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
