answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2016 answer text <p>There are a number of security challenges in Nigeria and the threat from terrorism continues to be high. In the north east of Nigeria, recent military successes have driven the terrorist group Boko Haram from key towns, but they remain a serious threat and continue to launch regular suicide attacks. Elsewhere in Nigeria inter-communal violence and incidents of kidnaps and crime have led us to advise against all travel, or all but essential travel, to some areas of the country. This is set out in more detail in Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office travel advice for Nigeria, which is kept under constant review.</p><p>The UK is providing a substantial and increasing package of security, intelligence, development and humanitarian support to Nigeria to help it defeat terrorism and improve security.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 05/01/2016 14:38:26 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2016 answer text <p>The government allocated more than £600 million to support the uptake and manufacture of ultra low emission vehicles in the 2015 Spending Review. This represents an increase of over £100 million on the Government’s previous commitment and means the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) will continue to provide one of the most comprehensive packages of support for ultra low emission vehicles in the world.</p><br /><p>On 17 December the Government announced it has allocated £400 million so that the Plug-in Car Grant will continue to at least 2018, well beyond the previous guarantee of February 2016, and which will mean more than 100,000 people will benefit over the coming years – double the number who have already claimed the grant since 2011. The Government also announced the continuation of the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, which will provide £500 towards the cost of installing a domestic chargepoint.</p><br /><p>We will provide further details about the wider OLEV programme during the first part of 2016.</p><br /> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 05/01/2016 11:54:50 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
