answer text

More than 5,200 buses have been funded across the UK since February 2020, with UK bus manufacturers supporting many of these. UK manufacturers have grown substantially in recent years as a result of their success in securing orders supported by £460 million of dedicated zero emission bus funding. A breakdown of how much grant funding has been spent on UK-made ZEBs is unavailable. Of the approximately 1,300 ZEBs funded through the ZEBRA 1 programme, over 800 of these buses will be manufactured by UK bus manufacturers Wrightbus and Alexander Dennis. We look forward to UK manufacturers securing more orders through the recently announced ZEBRA 2 funding. The following tables present information on the number of ZEBs funded and ordered through the ZEBRA programmes and the projects’ bus manufacturer by local transport authority. ZEBs produced and sold in the UK are supported by a global supply chain, therefore the below table outlines bus manufacturer’s location rather than country of origin. The numbers in this table are not official statistics: they are based on the latest information available and are therefore indicative and subject to change. <table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4">ZEBRA

We remain concerned about the targeting of pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong, and are following these cases carefully. The Foreign Secretary commented on 16 April that the Hong Kong authorities' decision to target leading pro-democracy figures for prosecution is unacceptable and must stop. For data protection reasons I cannot share information about a person without their permission.

Good progress is being made on the review on roads policing, including on the inspection of roads policing and a Call for Evidence to run alongside that inspection. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) have completed their thematic review of roads policing in seven police forces and will be issuing a publicly available report in due course. The Department will be publishing the Call for Evidence shortly.Consideration will then be given to the responses and we would expect to produce the final report on roads policing once all the evidence has been considered.
