The Government has a number of schemes which can be accessed by EV drivers across the country, including in Gloucestershire. The Government is providing funding for schemes to support chargepoint infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets. The Government\u2019s on street residential charging scheme offers grants to local authorities to help support this investment at local level. We want to encourage private sector investment to build and operate a self-sustaining public network that is affordable, reliable and accessible. In many cases, the market is best placed to identify the right locations for chargepoints and make improvements to the network and it is essential that viable commercial models are in place.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will continue to monitor whether any significant gaps in uptake or infrastructure provision emerge in the medium term. In the future we will consider whether there is a case for direct central government support in areas where there is a market failure, which may include areas outside the major conurbations.<\/p>

<\/p>

In August 2017, South Gloucestershire Council were awarded £4,790,910 under Government\u2019s [£42m] Low Emission Bus Scheme, for the provision of 110 Biomethane low emissions buses and accompanying infrastructure. The purpose of the scheme is to help improve regional air quality in UK towns and cities.<\/p>

The rates of people killed or seriously injured per billion vehicle miles for car users and motorcycle users are published in tables RAS30067 and RAS30066 respectively, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/ras30-reported-casualties-in-road-accidents#casualties-in-accidents-since-1979<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

In 2017, there were 38 car users killed or seriously injured per billion vehicle miles in Great Britain, compared to 2,149 for motorcyclists.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the road accident data, motorcycles include mopeds and motor scooters.<\/p>

<\/p>

Please note that the number of serious injuries provided is as reported by the police. Since 2016, changes in severity reporting systems for a large number of police forces mean that serious injury figures are not comparable with earlier years.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 19 July, the Department published the Road Safety Statement. The statement and action plan includes actions to improve safety for motorcyclists as well as rural road users, young road users and older road users. The statement is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-safety-statement-2019-a-lifetime-of-road-safety<\/a><\/p>

As set out in the Industrial Strategy, transport infrastructure investment is vital to support businesses right across the country, including in manufacturing. We support businesses through our roads, rail and local transport investment, and delivery of major projects like HS2. For example, HS2 already supports 9,000 jobs, and its innovative approach to construction includes looking at opportunities for off-site manufacture, such as Temporary Modular Bridges.<\/p>

<\/p>

DfT also supports manufacturing through its procurement, and has adopted the Procuring for Growth Balanced Scorecard to help ensure major government procurements have a positive impact on economic growth, as well as best value for the taxpayer.<\/p>

The Government published a strategic outline business case for the construction of the \u2018missing link\u2019 between Oxford and Milton Keynes in September 2018 (available on the Department for Transport website). This showed a benefit cost ratio of 1.2 or 1.3 for the preferred corridor B.<\/p>

Highways England is in the process of identifying potential routes within the preferred corridor which will enable a more thorough assessment of benefits and costs. At the current stage of work the estimated benefit cost ratio is not unusual.<\/p>
