answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>This Government’s approach to decarbonisation is not to stop people doing things, but to enable people to do the same things differently and more sustainably. The Government set out its plans for decarbonising transport in its 2021 Transport Decarbonisation Plan (TDP) and has continued to build on these plans.</p><p>The Government agrees that funding safe active travel infrastructure can enable more people to choose walking, cycling and wheeling for short journeys, and that this in turn can reduce carbon emissions. The TDP includes an assessment of the carbon savings that are projected to be delivered by the Government’s current and projected future support for active travel. This support includes the investment of around £3 billion over the current Parliament, much of which will directly support the roll-out of safe and attractive active travel infrastructure.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 16/05/2024 14:52:51 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
