answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>Constructive losses are not cash losses and do not cost the department. For example, when decommissioning a ship the accounts would show a 'loss' for the vessel. In fact, future savings made from not having to maintain an older vessel will be made available for other priorities.</p><p> </p><p>HMS Atherstone was decommissioned in 2017 as a savings measure. The constructive loss refers to this early retirement, which allowed resources to be invested into new capabilities rather than the increasing costs of maintaining an aging vessel.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 26/02/2024 13:16:37 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2020 answer text <p>We are currently investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and motorcycles to reduce the up-front purchase price of electric vehicles, as well schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets. Purchasers of electric vehicles also benefit from lower Vehicle Excise Duty and company car tax rates from April. As part of our consultation on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans, we are asking what the accompanying package of support will need to be to enable the transition and minimise the impacts on businesses and consumers across the UK, building on the significant demand and supply side measures already in place.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 17/02/2020 15:18:40 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
