answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>Pursuant to the Answer of 23 July 2019 to Question 277247, my Department has allocated £250,000 in total over 2016/17 and 2018/19 to the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). £150,000 of this was to support work encouraging reporting from groups who are less likely to report hate crime. These groups included EU citizens, Hindus, Christians, and the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, as well as Sikhs. <br> <br> In February, my Department organised a hate crime workshop for representatives from the Sikh community with contributions from across government, the police and criminal justice system. Outcomes included further engagement between the Sikh community and organisations including the NPCC, Crown Prosecution Service, Metropolitan Police and Department for Education. <br> <br> My Department and the NPCC continue to work with the Sikh community and other groups who are less likely to report to raise awareness of hate crime and encourage reporting. This work forms part of our commitment to tackling faith and race based hate crime made in the refreshed Cross-Government Hate Crime Action Plan.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 03/09/2019 15:17:35 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>Government funding and leadership, alongside private sector investment, has supported the installation of more than 20,000 public chargepoints. This includes over 2,000 rapid chargepoints – one of the largest networks in Europe. Our grant schemes and our £400m public-private Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund will see thousands more electric vehicle chargepoints installed across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of public chargepoints are funded privately and Government does not keep a record of their numbers. Through the On-street Residential chargepoint Scheme (ORCS), the Government has provided grant funding for 90 chargepoints in the Coventry area in the West Midlands, with 78 installed so far. Birmingham has not yet applied for any ORCS funding. The ORCS remains open for applications from Local Authorities with funding doubled for this financial year.</p><p> </p><p>Zap-Map (<a href="https://www.zap-map.com/" target="_blank">https://www.zap-map.com/</a>) can show where all public chargepoints in the West Midlands and Birmingham area are, as well as across the whole of the UK. As of 18 July 2019, Zap-Map data reported the number of publicly accessible charge points in the West Midlands as 764 and in Birmingham as 89.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 03/09/2019 16:08:41 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has not made an assessment of the potential effect of Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone on people’s health. This is a matter for the local authority as they are best placed to assess the impact of local decisions on the local population. A national assessment of the impact of the measures presented in the 2017 UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, including Clean Air Zones, is set out in the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/632916/air-quality-plan-technical-report.pdf" target="_blank">Technical Report</a> published alongside the Plan.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 09/09/2019 15:01:03 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
