answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2024 answer text <p>My Department has offered to meet the reasonable legal costs of postmasters applying to the GLO scheme in line with a tariff agreed with claimants’ legal representatives. I wrote to all GLO postmasters in December 2022 advising them not to engage any lawyer who asks them for payment, as this might mean their compensation would be reduced by legal costs which they could not recover. My Department’s understanding is that only one lawyer has been engaged on that basis, representing one or two out of 492 claimants in the GLO scheme.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 29/01/2024 10:27:41 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2024 answer text <p>Given the continued overseas demand for high-quality, UK-built vehicles, changes to policy in the nations we export to are more likely to affect levels of UK car production than changes in domestic policy. Like the UK, policy in key exports markets is toward greater electrification as the global shift to electric vehicles quickens.</p><p>Government’s zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate will ensure the UK’s share of ZEVs increases, putting our industry at the forefront of new technologies to grow the economy and attracting new inward investment, creating thousands of new jobs.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 29/01/2024 17:59:08 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
