This is a local decision in which the Department for Transport does not become involved.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport provides funds direct to local authorities, which may be used for road safety purposes, allowing authorities to spend their allocations according to their own priorities. It is therefore for each authority to decide how it allocates its resources and which transport improvement projects to support.

We will confirm the trajectories in the forthcoming government response.</p><p> </p><p>We are also taking steps to develop a UK SAF industry and have a commitment to see at least five plants under construction by 2025. We have already funded 5 projects through the Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF), each receiving a share of £82.5m, with an announcement on the second-round winners expected in November 2023.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that uncertainty over future revenues remains a key barrier to investment in SAF production in the UK. In September, the Government committed to introduce a revenue certainty mechanism to support Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in the UK. Alongside this announcement, the government published a delivery plan outlining the timeline for how such a mechanism could be delivered by 2026.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 20/11/2023 10:47:30 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with representatives from airlines on fuel tankering.
tabling member constituency	Hornsey and Wood Green
tabling member printed	Catherine West
uin	1950
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2023 answer text <p>The Department is aware of the practice of tankering whereby airlines may decide to take on additional fuel than is required for a given journey. Although tankering can be practiced for operational purposes, such as avoiding technical failures or contaminated fuel at destination airports, research suggests that 90% of tankering events are linked to fuel prices.</p><p> </p><p>In the Government’s consultation, published in March 2023, on the details of the sustainable aviation fuel mandate, we recognised the potential for increased tankering and the risk that it could potentially result in the transfer of carbon emissions to other locations or to an increase in overall carbon emissions. We welcomed views from industry stakeholders in the consultation and are currently reviewing the evidence provided before publishing our response.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 22/11/2023 12:41:12 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
