In a no deal scenario, the EU\u2019s adopted Regulation on connectivity gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU from the day of exit until March 2020, allowing time to progress longer-term arrangements. The UK has stated we will reciprocate these rights for EU airlines. Both sides are committed to maintaining connectivity.<\/p>

The Government has several plug-in grant funding schemes in place to assist with the cost of purchasing ultra low emission cars, vans and taxis; which both fleet operators and consumers can take advantage of.

Ultra low emission vehicles also benefit from a favourable tax regime.

The Department for Transport has made no formal estimate of the cost to (a) Government and (b) local authorities of filling in potholes in England in 2016 or 2017. The Department for Transport has no current plans to estimate the cost to the public purse of repairing all potholes on public roads, although others have made informal estimates of their own.<\/p>

The Government, for the first time, has set up a dedicated fund for potholes. This is providing local highway authorities in England, outside London, £296 million between 2016 and 2021, including an extra £46 million announced in the 2017 autumn Budget.<\/p>
