answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2023 answer text <p>HMG has not undertaken research into the impact of the 12 May strikes on traffic levels.

This may have impacts on congestion and pollution in some areas. The Government is focused on resolving this dispute so that critically needed workforce reforms can take place, supported by a fair pay deal. The trade unions will not prevent the need for these reforms by targeting public events with strike action.</p><p> </p><p>The Department publishes daily usage of domestic transport by mode for Great Britain on a monthly basis on Gov.uk and traffic data for 12 May 2023 will be published on 14 June. A wide range of factors can impact traffic and associated emissions: given the comparable lack of data points, any direct assessment of the impact of strike action on 12 May 2023 on traffic and associated emissions would not be robust and the Department has no plans to model individual days.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 18/05/2023 08:46:10 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2023 answer text <p>The <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1129728/electric-vehicle-smart-charging-action-plan.pdf" target="_blank">EV Smart Action Plan</a> published earlier this year, estimated that the electrification of cars, vans and HGVs could add 50 – 70 TWh by 2035 and 90 – 140 TWh by 2050 to electricity generation. The Department has not estimated the additional electricity generation or network capacity required specifically from electric logistics vehicles. Ofgem is responsible for regulating networks to deliver for Net Zero. Under the most recent price control, Ofgem has allowed £22.2bn for investment in low voltage networks, including £3.1bn for network upgrades to enable technologies, like electric vehicles, to join the grid.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 18/05/2023 09:19:03 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

uin	184957
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2023 answer text <p>The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), is the main scheme in the UK supporting producers of low carbon transport fuels. It stimulates the production of low carbon fuels by setting volume targets for their supply in road transport and non-road mobile machinery, with targets rising from 14.22% in 2023, to 17.4% from 2032 onwards.</p><p> </p><p>The RTFO does not prescribe the volume in which renewable fuels must be supplied by sector. It provides flexibility to producers of low carbon fuels to determine where to deploy them and this may include logistics sectors. This enables targets to be met in a way that minimises cost to the consumer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 18/05/2023 10:25:08 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
