In preventing illegal migration from Calais (and Northern France more broadly), the UK continues to maintain a strong cooperative relationship with France. Most recently, our two countries signed the Sandhurst Treaty at the UK-France Summit in January 2018, which demonstrates our ongoing mutual commitment to the juxtaposed controls and adoption of a \u2018whole of route\u2019 approach to illegal migration. \u20ac50 million of financial support has been allocated to progress this cooperation. Our cooperation with France includes joint work to improve security at the shared border in northern France; to reduce illegal migration flows towards northern French ports and to support France in returning migrants with no legal right to be in Europe.<\/p>
At the juxtaposed controls, Border Force officers use advanced detection technology available to identify migrants attempting to reach the UK illegally. In 2015 there were over 80,000 recorded attempts to illegally enter the United Kingdom from Northern France; in 2017 this was reduced to just over 30,000 as a consequence of the security enhancements and camp closures in 2016. This reduction signifies our approach is working, and builds on our cooperation under the Sandhurst Treaty, which has contributed significantly to a rise in the numbers being brought into the French asylum system, and a reduction in migrant numbers located around the Northern French Ports.<\/p>

We are considering how environmental funding for the UK Overseas Territories can best be provided after we leave the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Overseas Territories will be able to continue to apply to the Government\u2019s Darwin Plus programme, run by Defra, which supports biodiversity in the Overseas Territories. In 2018-19 we are providing £2.5 million funding through Darwin Plus.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also set aside £4.77 million of the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, over four years, to address environmental security issues in the Overseas Territories.<\/p>

DfT Ministers meet regularly with the Mayor of London and the Metro Mayors. New provisions have been included in the recently adopted Automated and Electric Vehicles Act to enable Metro Mayors, including the Mayor of London, to seek to require provision of chargepoints at large fuel retailers in their areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) is in regular contact with Transport for London (TfL) and Local Authorities, and works with them to accelerate the installation of rapid chargepoints for taxis and public use. OLEV officials work collaboratively on EV Infrastructure provision, as a member of the Mayor of London\u2019s recently launched EV Infrastructure Taskforce, at which London boroughs are also represented. Government is providing £18m to TfL to install 300 rapid chargepoints, of which 90 are to be taxi dedicated. To date, 116 rapid chargepoints have been installed, of which 56 are taxi dedicated.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-05T10:57:49.913Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Taxis: Electric Vehicles"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will hold discussions with the (a) Mayor of London and (b) representatives of London boroughs on accelerating the installation of rapid electric charging points for taxis.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "167885"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947241", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947241/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
One of the aims of the national curriculum for history is to ensure that all pupils know and understand the history of Great Britain as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day; how people\u2019s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world.<\/p>
